  1. WILL NOT FIND VIDEOS OR PHOTOS ON PC – what am I missing


    Tried everything

    Windows Photos will not recognize any folders or videos on my new pc whether the files are on the hard drive in “pictures” or “videos” folders. Also, same on a USB and DVD/CD drive.

    It says files empty! Which is not correct.

    Tried dragging video from USB and/or DVD/CD drive and the message states:

    Can't add thesefiles

    We couldn'tadd the followingfi les to the project library because they're

    not photos orvideos:

    VIDEO_TS.BUP

    VIDEO_TS.IFO

    VIDEO_TS.VOB

    VTS_01_0.BUP

    VTS_01_0.1FO

    VTS_01_1.VOB

    VTS_01_2.VOB

    VTS_01_3.VOB

    VTS_01_ 4.VOB

    VTS_01_5.VOB

    Tried “repair” and “reset” and “uninstalled and installed it again – same problems.

    Though on an 8 year old laptop it does show some photos.

    Is this program worth the time to know if it really works?

    Any suggestions on a fix?


    Thanks

    :)

  2. Cheap Photo box that will get the job done

    WEll i took on this project for PP hes a hardware reviewer and wants to get the professional looking pics for the Pc parts

    Materials:
    • Big cardboard box
    • a razor
    • white material 3 yards
    • cone lights
    • stapler
    • medical tape
    • pvc pipe about 6 inches longer than your box
    • white paint any cheap finger paint would work
    the project I'm guessing will cost me $30 if it works out properly
    I will post pictures and step by step as i do it

    Thanks for replying spunk. That's the 'alphabetical' list I was referring to, none of these apps are in that 'All apps' list. Any more suggestions?
