I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows-10 when it was first made available for free. On W-7 there was an app called Photo Gallery that I thoroughly enjoyed for editing and sharing. My husband had passed away in 2013, and I was using Photo Gallery to try and gather pictures into one folder to use for his memorial book. Then, I upgraded to W-10 and although Photo Gallery was still in the system somewhere, it took a while to find it. Problem though, is that it was not associated with any other folders or files. It was like a stand alone little app. I saved that to my desktop so I could find it again. After that, I was no longer able to add photos to it.
Then along came Windows Essentials and a new Photo Gallery included with the download. Except I couldn't get WE-12 to download. Well, not the whole thing and not to one file. I later located bits and pieces of it in several different folders, and I gave up and uninstalled it. Several months later, (like about a week ago) I thought I would give it another try, and was amazed it loaded this time with no problems. I thought.
Now what is happening, is every time I try to open and edit one photo in Photo Gallery, it changes my screen resolution to the lowest setting making everything unreadable. And each time I am able to navigate around things so I can get to settings and change it back, a window pops up asking if I want to keep the resolution I just set it to. And I always say yes. Then, boom, I open one picture and there goes the screen resolution again.
Does anyone know why this is happening? And how I can stop it from changing the resolution anytime I want to edit a photo? It would be most appreciated!
Thank you
