    My photo app has blanked out all of my photos to grey.


    My photo app has blanked out all of my photos to grey. The icon on the toolbar is also blanked out in grey. The photos still exist (I think) because they are all still represented in the same spaces in the same folders. It is just that it is a plain grey space. When I double click on a photo it goes to a viewer, but it is blank and the dots at the top do there eternal march across the top like they are lost forever. I don't think I have done anything recently with software. It is as if it happened out of the blue.

    Vanished photos & Greyed out App

    My 640 Microsoft Lumia phone used to show photos on my Live People tile on the front of my phone. However, these seem to have vanished and also no longer are in my contacts list - where previously I had photos, I now just have blank squares.

    Also my Twitter app has crashed for about the 6th time - it has greyed out on my screen and will not start. I would rather not keep uninstalling it and reinstalling it, but is this the only way of dealing with this?
