windows photo galledry

why can't I open windows photo gallery? It does not appear on my list of
programs, so I cannot follow windows instructions.

I continually receive email with attachments which I cannot open, message is
that I don't have windows photo gallery.

How do I activate this program?

Hello Jeane,

Can you see if the photo gallery folder exists? It should be here:

C:\Program Files\Windows Photo Gallery

Which edition of Vista do you have?

I didn't think Photo Gallery was included in Home Basic.

Hello Jeanne,

Are these attachments ones that you receive via Windows Mail? Is Windows
Mail set as your default mail reader?
