re: Windows Photo Gallery Won't Open Large Files Thursday, September 10, 2009 at 7:26 pm Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Steve Beesley (1 messages posted) Hi, guys and girls. I use vista ultimate which also will not open files larger than 6MB but Adobe essentials 7 does, I believe Adobe will open most photos even the adobe 4, 5 and 6 versions of essentials. I also use genuie fractals which enlarge my photos to sometimes 56MB and Adobe has no problem with them. Of course microsoft viewer will not open them as it is only a basic viewer and not a fully blown application to manipulate your precious and loved photos. Adobe essentials is a worth while application if you can afford it and well worth buying even if you buy one of the older versions. Ifran view is also good, and free but can't really compare fully to the Adobe cheaper versions. There is nothing wrong with your computers, it's just that you need the correct viewer and MS doesn't supply it with is OS. Microsoft will give you the updates for the photo gallery if they are availiable but to date there are none so if you have a camera with more than 7MP then please consider another photo manipulation program such as Adobe, Nero, Roxio, Coral or even photo commander by Ashampoo which is cheap enough and very cheerfull. Hope this helps, as all the latter names mentioned will open your larger pictures. best regards. Steve.
