Tom, I agree that the thumbnail shows up in the Picture Gallery but
can't be opened. I can open it fine by going back to the Picture
Gallery where I entered it in the first place.
With regard to the second part, I clicked Delete & Open list for a path
where I know I have documents that I attached to people. I found both
myself (which also has pictures attached) & my husband (who has no
pictures attached). So I am not able to duplicate your second problem.
But I only just attached those 2 documents (and they were the same
document) to test your problem, so maybe someone who has more documents
attached could test your problem.

Hi Kirstin
Not exactly. The Picture Gallery shows Thumbnails of photos & symbols
of Documents, as you'd know. Pictures (JPG files) attach via the
"Picture" button & open ok. After adding PDF files or ODT Open Office
files or RTF WordPad files to the Picture Gallery by using the "File"
button they will not open when I double click on the Thumbnail.
After adding TXT files or Open Office files with a DOC extension by
clicking on the "File" button they open perfectly.
A further bit of information I've found is that going Options ->
Customise -> Locations -> View Current list of Multimedia Locations ->
then selecting any path -> Options -> Delete -> View List, I find the
names of people with _only_ PDF, RTF, or Open Office DOC files are not
there on the Path list.
(In addition the Path list names is not accurate at all, some people
being on the wrong path or being on a path when they have no attached
pictures or documents.)
I hope that makes sense, Kirstin.
Regards
Tom

My understanding is that you cannot open anything but pictures in the
picture center. Is that where you are trying to open the PDF & doc
files? That is what I understood you to say.

Yes, I use Open Office & Adobe 9 on both computers. (The desktop no
longer works at all but the files all opened okay on it when it was
operating.) Picture files open fine, PDF & open Office files wont
open from Sound, Video, or File buttons.
This was strange as I haven't been on this list for over a year &
seem to have landed my question in the middle of a similar thread!
Thanks

Just to confirm, you do have Word and a PDF reader (Acrobat
Reader, Foxit etc) installed on *both* computers?

changing PC's
Tom,
I have experienced the same problem on my XPS 1 PC using Vista, and
on a Dell Laptop 1525 also using Vista. I checked with support but
they were unable to duplicate the problem on there computers. On
the XPS 1 I can opened Word documents, but not PDF's. On the Dell
Laptop I can open PDF's but not Word Documents. I get the same
message: "Can't Find Player." "There is currently no default media
player set up on your computer." I have been trying to figure this
out for about six months with no luck. Go figure.

Hi
Due to my desktop failing (XP OP), but fortunately just after I
backed up & replicated all Legacy files to this Laptop (Vista OP),
I am going through a process of getting lots of pictures
'connections' correctly organised. All going well except for one
remaining problem.
When I attempt to open a .pdf file from the Picture Gallery (which
was added in there using the 'File' button) an error message
displays: "Can't Find Player." "There is currently no default
media player set up on your computer."
I tried to set a media player on Windows but to no avail. I don't
understand why a media player is required, if in fact this is the
case. I did set Adobe Reader as the default to open .pdf files
but no joy.
Some guidance or explanations would be great to get, thanks.
Tom
