Options with Importing Pictures and Videos not functioning
When I connect my digital photo camera to my Vista and try to Import pictures and videos from it, there is this Windows wizard that starts (as shown on screen shot).
There is an Options link which is not working when I click on it.
Any ideas how to make it operational again?

Heh, heh,...nice try Merete :)
I'm not that novice.
On the site you've suggested, there is a line, that I'm refering to with my question to EE: "If you want to customize the import settings, click the Options button. Now you can change the following settings: "
That is what I cannot do recently. It has nothing to do with the camera, since it was working few weeks ago.
I just can open "Import Settings" (see the attached file taken from that site).

I read it all :)
please look down the comments posted >>
I cannot change any import, there is two ,
use the second one ;)
That's because there isn't one.
Open Windows Photo Gallery, click on File->Options. Select tab called "Import"
Import settings are hidden away in there.

Well, I did check File/Options/tab "Import" before I posted this question...and yes, it is empty, settings are hidden away.
I just can't find a solution to make them visible so I can use Options again.
So, here I am with EE :)

Hi neshas , and this feature was working?

Try system restore as a quick work around.
Is this on a home system? Not at work? Policies maybe in place if it's at work.

No way to do restore at this point...and as I can remember (I am at work right now) I disabled this feature (or did I?) some time ago trying to save space. Anyway, I almost never really used it (never meaning this one and previous MS OS).
This is my home system, with 2 more users. I'm the only one with Admin rights.
Other 2 are 'plain' users, not installing or changing anything without my involvement (password)...

"how much space do you have left":
at that time, some weeks ago (I think 6-10, not sure), I was on 80GB HDD which was almost full. So, I had to make some space (delete TEMP files, uninstall unnecessary software, stop Restore...
Later on I upgraded to 250GB, and now I have just enough space.
"Do you have all the required to run Vista sp1?":
what exactly do you mean?
"Coudl be a previous update gone wrong.":
hardly. I installed it easily, and later uninstalled.
"When you installed sp1 did you turn off the AV and the internet access?":
no I did not turn AV. As for internet access, I just can't remember was I installing SP1 through internet or stand alone file...:(

Huh, really can't remember.

I will certainly do that, hopefully today.

I'm doing this procedure now every time I try to install SP1. I've read it as soon as SP1 problem occurred. This is also written in Vista Offline Help where I have spotted first as soon as I got stuck. So, I'm aware of this resolution procedure, and it is not helping me solving this problem.

First, let me point out that I didn't have time yesterday to do as I said in my previous post (look for event errors, regedit-profiles...).
Now I'm at work, and hopefully I will try to find some time later tonight and try all that.
My home PC (the one with SP1 problem) is not a brand one, but it consists of brand parts (you can see the list in my profile, but hardly it makes any difference on this matter).
I bought it some two years ago without any OS. I installed XPPro. Worked swell. With SP2 too...
Later (some 10 months ago) I installed Vista Ultimate over XPPro.
I only have Vista Ultimate Install CD, no other repair discs.
All-in-all, I'm very satisfied with Vista (had Beta on my work PC as a Beta tester, and from the moment it hit the market I installed Business edition). I think Vista is much better in all (well, 80%) aspects comparing to all its precedents. Wouldn't go back, but eagerly waiting for Win7...
"...run a repair-re-install using the original Vista setup disc.":
I tried that, but the only option I get is clean install. I didn't find anything like 'repair' as there is with MS Office...Or am I missing something? (I booted from CD)
I'm trying to avoid clean install since I have lots of other software installed as well.
Installing Vista all over again will be too painful for me and other 2 users, 'cause I would have to install other software, and that would probably take months, which me and my users can't afford.
And, I would have to install many updates (Vista, Office, other software) all over again...Not sure it's worth an effort...hell with SP1 :)
So, I'm tying to find other ways, if there are any...
If not, than I'll probably consider this. :(
I've looked 3 links you've posted, and I've been there before...Just can't find there any link talking about repairing. As it looks to me, these guides are not for me...Correct me if I'm wrong.
PS
Thnx for spending time trying to help me solve this problem of mine.

I can start that one without booting from CD, but I desabled System Restore, so I don't have dates.
Especially not the ones when I last installed/uninstalled SP1, some months ago.
What I need is Startup Repair?

neshas just so I'm clear, you uninstalled the update sp1 some months ago?
had no problems!!
until you attempted to re-install it recently?
There is the also the system file checker, remember sfc /scannow yep Vista has it as well.
try that first. good old stuff migt replace any lost files.
Based on the input you gave if the SFC doesnt fix it post those events errors please.
Then we'll look into the repair re-install as a last resort.

When SP1 was released (when was that?), I downloaded it and installed on my home PC, Vista Ultimate.
Few days later, I was not satisfied with some elements that were working before SP1 and I assumed it was because of SP1, so I uninstalled it.
"I will install it later again I've said to myself at that time.
Later, on some day in September, I've decided to try and install SP1 once again. Immediately I came up with problem that I'm referring here. I tried lot's of things and finaly asked EE.
I did chkdsk and notning wrong came up.
I did sfc /scannow several times in last few days.
I'm getting this:
"Verification 100% complete.
Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them."
BTW, log file is some 8,5MB large.
Since adding such files on EE is not allowed, what do you suggest? Maybe if I ZIP-it, it will be lass than 5MB...

When some hardware or software problems occur on your computerfor example, if a program stops working or stops responding Windows creates a problem report so you can check for a solution.
Open Problem Reports and Solutions by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Problem Reports and Solutions.
In the left pane, click Change settings.
Select Check for solutions automatically (recommended), and then click OK.

PS
"Select Check for solutions automatically (recommended), and then click OK.":
It is and has alway been checked with me, but Vista never came up with a solution to this SP1 problem.

Is it a SFC log?
But does seem to point to a problem with setup. And a mismatched image.

How did we end up with SP1 in the first place?
This question is about "Options with Importing Pictures and Videos not functioning"
:)
Anyway, yes, it is SFC log.
Do you mean Repair?
Or must it be new clean install?
Clean install is nightmare for me.

I started XP, inserted Vista CD and installed over XP.

hi,
How did we end up with SP1 in the first place?
This question is about "Options with Importing Pictures and Videos not functioning"
we ended up with sp1 center of topic because of the errors codes you provided, at first it seemed a relatively simple thing to set right with importing but then you dropped the bombshell errors.
To fix your problems with missing tabs and anything else that's not running right on your system may require a repair re-install that shoudl damage your files only replace windows files..
The upgrade path is good, the idea behind that is to ensure the integral components /software are in place.
You mention there are other accounts when logged into another account same problems?
Import settings are hidden
try unhiding the system files first Click the round blue Start thing in the left corner
Click Control Panel /Click Folder Options/Click the View tab/Click Show hidden files and folders
to see system files as well, unclick Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)
press OK
then go to Windows Photo Gallery, click on File->Options. Select tab called "Import"
Have you installed the software for this camera?
cheers it's the week end now.

opps should state a repair re-install will " not damage " your files but replace windows files only.
If in doubt don't :)

I was so tired last night (my time), just didn't do anything with my machine...
"You mention there are other accounts when logged into another account same problems?"
- I've tried with other 2 users to update SP1, but the same error appeared.
I even created brand new administrator user, still no change.
On the other hand i DIDN'T check can these users see the Import tab. Will do that this weekend.
"opps should state a repair re-install will " not damage " your files but replace windows files only.

- Well, when we talk about MS, maybe there is no doubt between damage-replace :))

I agree with your thoughts it's probably the default navigating point via Windows LIVE Photo Gallery>>>Intresting how Import tab can be seen from my Windows LIVE Photo Gallery....
What would you like me to look at neshas?
All looks right so far.
By all accounts I'd say there is not a problem here, simply change the directory for your imports via Live Photo Gallery by default.
It's probably designed like that.
I can't test this with Vista as I dont have any Vista systems at hand at the moment all using xp pro.
Kind regards

One idea, looking at your snap of the auto play, you have only highlighted Pictures, to get the extras.
set your import options >> import pictures and videos using live photo gallery.
that should it :)

"set your import options >> import pictures and videos using live photo gallery"
Yes, Merete, I (know I) can do that...or I can use any other option from there (as I already do when importing) to get pictures from my camera.
But that is not the issue here.
I want this blank Import tab to be proper as it was few weeks ago.
Well, I'll try to solve this with great help from EE.
PS
As for my SP1 problem, now I have some real problems...

Well, I had to do it. Reinstall Vista all over again. It looks as some files or registry settings or both were somehow corrupted and there was no other way to make Vista work again. So, I finally gave up and did the inevitable. After all, maybe this is for the best, to refresh my computer, before buying Mac :)
Now, my horror started all over...installing other software as well, configuring settings...
Thnx Merete for your great effort and time with me, Love neshas!

Thank you neshas, I'm sure you have gained from this experience though unfortunate as it is the long road back to re-installing everything.
Good thing you had backed up often.
Sharing a computer with others also increases the possibility when something goes wrong it effects all the accounts and makes it more difficult to get back.
I wish you well.
Best Wishes
