Question asked on Jul 22, 2016
I just downloaded Live Essentials to get Photo Gallery and Movie Maker. However, when I try to start Photo Gallery, I get a message saying that Windows SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition is not installed on my computer, and gives me a button to go to the
download center. When I click on it, I get a "Page Not Found" message. I did a couple of searches and I saw that back in April 2005 Server was no longer supported and had been replaced by something else (sorry, I don't remember what it was). So, when I tried
to download the replacement, I got the same "Page Not Found" message. I called Windows Help Desk, which was a complete failure, because the guy I talked to completely ignored everything I told him and wanted me to open msconfig. I did as he asked, which did
nothing at all, then he tried to sell me some sort of computer maintenance plan. All I really need is either this SQL 2005 program, or some sort of successor program that will let Photo Gallery run. I appreciate any help anyone can give me. I have did several
searches, both on Microsoft and Google, and I feel like a dog chasing his tail. Putting forth a lot of effort, but getting nowhere.
