[XP only] Cannot save any changes to pictures

Submitted by Ensign Joe on March 6, 2009 to Annoyance, Bug, Usability

Everytime you modify an image using "Edit" in Windows Live Photo Gallery you cannot save its changes. (Affects Windows XP only as far as I can tell)
You can rotate the image though but you cannot modify Saturation, crop the image, change light, reduce red eyes etc.
Everytime you then try to close the gallery or switch to another picture you'll get the message seen in the screenshot.

FIX IT!!!!!!!!!!

Note: Affects Windows XP only as far as I can tell!

Does it happen for all of your pictures or only some of them? Do you have other photo editing software installed on the same machine?

Make sure that your photos aren't set to "Read Only"

You guys think I'm supid, huh?
I can edit none of my pictures. Neither BMP or JPG, neither pornos or landscape photos.
EVERYTIME I then close the gallery or choose next picture it trys to save my changes and fails.
