when i go into my picture folder and click slide show nothing happens, it was ok a few days ago, not sure it one of the updates caused it, i added a canon 4400f scanner a couple of dayd ago so it could be this that caused it. my old scanner wouldnt work on vista.i have found the prob with vista is i get 1 prob sorted only to find i have another pop up. has anyone had this prob? any idea how to sort it?

Hi Mike

i tried cleaning temp folders, i defraged and did a system restore. nothing worked. the slide show icon just wont work, the only way i can do a slide show is to click on a photo, open it then click on the centre buttom "play a slide show" that workes, but i just cant get the slide show icon to work and cant work out what the prob is, all
the other icons ie preview,print ect all work.

Regards
Carolyn

This recently occurred on my system.

My current workaround is to right click on the first photo in the folder, select open with, select Windows Photo Gallery.

To enter windowed mode instead of the fullscreen, press the escape key.

Its not a fix to the error, but it provides roughly the same functionality.

The issue seems to be still occurring, I see fresh questions (in 2009) on this subject in other forums and the previous responses did not provide a fix or workaround. If what I provided is in error then please delete my posts. :)
