English translation

Unable to start the Photo Gallery. The disk space may be insufficient or missing critical files in Windows.

Buongiorno, Pulsar, e benvenuti nel SevenForums.

This error dialog simply tells you Windows can not start Photo Gallery because

1. the disk space may be insufficient
   
   or
2. some critical files are missing.

1: Check that you have enough free space on your hard drive, download Live Photo Gallery once more and install it. If the error reoccurs, the issue was not insufficient space

2: This means some important Windows system files are missing. Open command prompt as an administrator and run the command sfc /scannow. It checks the system files on your computer and repairs / reinstalls them when needed.

Still problems

Hi. First thanks for your help. I've up to 170 Gb free and I run prompt but nothing missing found... Is there any other possibility to fix this problem? thanks

You did sfc /scannow? Did you try to redownload and reinstall the Live Photo Gallery after that?

 

[pulsar68]

Yes, of course, but everyting like before

OK. Do you have other Live products installed like Mail, Messenger, Movie Maker etc.? Are they working?

Maybe restoring system to an earlier point before you first attempted to install Photo Gallery would help?

Just a thought in passing. you have enough total disk space free. how much is free in the partition where it is installed?

I think I'll got to use Picasa. I'm sorry 'cause I liked very much Photo Gallery, for example that one in Vista... Anyway Thanks a lot for your support
