Photo Gallery is not staying open more that a minute.  I am running Windows 8.  The message I get is...

"Photo gallery has stopped working

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.

Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Windows Essentials 2012.  I have also tried opening when signed in and not signed in.

Any assistance in this would be greatly appreciated.
