Hi

The Photo Gallery  in Windows Live  displayed the error “ An error is preventing the photo or video from being displayed” followed by the code error ”0×80010108” When I tried  to view an image file via the link in Start  > Recent Items or from Jump List.

But the exact same image opens just fine when I double click it.

What should I do to rectify this?
