Q: When I click on my pictures I keep getting an error report. How can I fix this issue?

Q: Me and my friends took pictures and I put them on my computer. I have since deleted them but I know my dad can view what pictures have been seen on the computer. How do I delete them for good?

Q: I was downloading files and images into winzip12. Everything went into Microsoft Office Picture. I have a Dell computer with home Vista on it. About 80% of my files are in Microsoft Office Picture and none of the pictures can be opened. When I try all I get is a icon of Microsoft when I open each program. I cannot restore, my games, internet explorer and yahoo messenger is also caught up in it. I had just downloaded and ran Uniblue Reistry Booster 2 before downloading into winzip. First time I had this problem.

Q: How do I get pictures from my Windows Vista computer onto a SD so I can put that into a digital picture frame?

Q: How do I transfer pictures from my computer to a thumb drive so I can send them to my mother-in-law’s digital picture frame?

A: This should be a relatively simple process for you. What I would recommend is that you attach your thumb drive to your computer’s USB port. Double click on the My Computer icon on your desktop. When that opens you should see a drive that would be labeled Removable media. Double click on that icon.

I don’t know where your pictures are located but if you open your file where the pictures are you can just click, drag, and drop the picture files onto your thumb drive.
