When I try to delete a photo in windows photo gallery...it hangs up or freezes. I have a lot of photos I would like to delete, but at this pace I could be here a long time. Thanks in advance

That sound like you should error check your hard drive. While in file explorer, right click on the c drive (or d drive or wherever your pictures are stored), goto tools and run the error checking. If it is the c drive, it needs a reboot.
Hi Kelly, please help us a bit with the full specs of you system. Are we talking about a laptop or desktop? Which windows version is it? Are the picture stored on an internal or external hard disk? Can you delete the picture files in explorer directly?

It is a desktop Vista OS. I'm not sure if it is internal or external. All I know is when I click on a picture in Windows photo gallery, it will enlarge the pic& underneath the picture is a "back button", "forward button" "counterclockwise", "clockwise" buttons & an "X" ( to delete). I try to delete a picture & it freezes up. I went to Windows Update
to update this program, but there is not a update for Vista. This program came with the
computer. I use Firefox..so not sure about IE to delete.

It hangs up also, it took 95 sec for the box to ask if I wanted to delete this picture.
