Windows 7 Libaries not working after update from Vista Home Prof

Der_Spotter · May 25, 2009

A few days ago I updated my vista home prem hard drive to the windows 7 ultim rc1 in german. but i cant use the libraries as, which is very sad for me as i considered them to be a very good new feature. clicking on one of the libraries simply displays an error message e.g.: "pictures.library-ms" can no longer be executed (ofc in german but thats the meaning) and the in smaller writing: the library can be deleted without hesitation, the folders it contains will not be affected. but i dont want to delete it i want to use it?

anyone same problem? anyone solution? thx in advance

greetings Der_Spotter

It seems like you are facing an issue with using libraries in Windows 7 Ultimate RC1 in German after upgrading from Vista Home Premium. The error message you described indicates that the library file "pictures.library-ms" cannot be executed. To resolve this issue and start using libraries again, you can try the following steps:

Rebuild Library:
Try rebuilding the affected library. This can sometimes fix library-related issues in Windows. Here's how you can do it:
Open Windows Explorer.
Right-click on the library that is causing the issue (for example, "Pictures").
Select "Properties" and go to the "Location" tab.
Click on the "Restore Default" button to set the default location.
Click "OK" and see if the issue is resolved.
Reset Library in Registry:
If the above method doesn't work, you can try resetting the library in the Windows Registry. Here's how:
Press Win + R, type "regedit" and hit Enter to open the Registry Editor.

Navigate to the following key:

Code:

 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders

Find the entry related to the problematic library (e.g., "pictures.library-ms").
Right-click on it and choose "Modify."
Set the Value data to point to the correct library location.
Close the Registry Editor and check if the library is working.
Check File Permissions:
Ensure that your user account has appropriate permissions to access and use the libraries. You can check the permissions by right-clicking on the library folder, selecting "Properties," and going to the "Security" tab. If the issue persists after trying these solutions, you may consider performing a system restore to a point before the upgrade or reinstalling Windows 7 Ultimate RC1 to see if it resolves the problem. I hope these steps help you in resolving the library issue on your Windows 7 Ultimate RC1 system. Let me know if you need further assistance or if you encounter any other issues. Good luck!
