Corrupt picture library

[dixbren]

My picture library has became corrupt. I recently set up WMC and imported my photos and installed Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Elements 11. I did a system restore to prior to the Elements 11 install without a fix. Any help would be appreciated.

Backup all pictures that are fine first.

Thanks for your response. Ok I ran disk check without any luck.

 

[Computer0304]

Ok. Do you have any restore points? Try http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/700-system-restore.html Try to restore to a point before the problem.

 

[dixbren]

Yes, I already tried system restore. Thanks

Are they corrupted photos that are showing icons? Or are they different files that are not photos? (Like the one with the gear picture)

 

[dixbren]

Most are different files that aren't pictures. I don't know how but when I imported pics to WMC it imported photos from my I phone too. What a mess.

 

[Computer0304]

Did the files keep the name of the old photos?

And that is why you always need a backup of your photos on a seperate drive.

dixpren, give the steps listed here a try

:ar: Windows Media Player - Media library is corrupted. - Microsoft Community

It looks like the photos keep the same name. If I can get this problem fixed then I can put all my media on a separate drive... lesson learned. Thanks for helping.

Give this a try.

im thinking the wmp library needs resetting , that the original pictures folder in your libraries may be showing the images fine, if so its a case of removing them from the wmp library then getting it to re read the library pictures folder.

before you remove any files from wmp, make sure you have the check box UN - ticked "delete from computer when deleting from wmp"

this setting can be found in options/library tab.

then you can remove the pictures folder ,



again, make sure you have a back up of the original pictures folder that you are going to add to wmp.
