  • This issue occurs because a database is corrupted. This database is created by Windows Live Photo Gallery to track photos and videos.

    To fix this problem, you have to regenerate the database for Windows Live Photo Gallery. 

    Follow these steps:

    Close Windows Live Photo Gallery.

    Click Start, click Run, type%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Photo Gallery, and then click OK.

    Delete any existing instance of "OLD_Pictures.pd4" and "OLD_Pictures.pd5."

    Locate and then right-click "Pictures.pd4" or "Pictures.pd5."

    Rename "Pictures.pd4" to "OLD_Pictures.pd4" or rename "Pictures.pd5" to "OLD_Pictures.pd5."

    You can see more information from its official site.
