I made a mistake. Windows downloaded all the photos and deleted them in the time it took photoshop express to think about the matter and decided that it did not want to download them. I just took more photos and found the lost ones were in a folder. The problem is windows vista is competing with photoshop to be the downloader, and there is no way to make one of them dominate. But, I did not lose them after all. I feel so stupid. I am sorry to bother everyone.

"It's like she's not even related to me." Marti8a, that got such a laugh out of me. I felt the same way when I first visited our daughter in Hawaii. Each time we visited her, four times in all, she had more "stuff". Yes, she is my daughter after all! I'm with breenthumb, I'd put these photos in a Photobucket account before deleting them. I hope it's an easy fix for your computer. Do you defrag on a regular basis? Clear your cookies and history often? I've also had the auto shut off cause problems on my desktop so I turned that function off. After all the other stuff I did trying to save that computer, the "fix" was as easy as that.

Seems to be coming quite common. That happened with a thread started by Errant yesterday. It disappeared for everyone else, but she could still see it in the list. I'm not seeing the photo ones from earlier now either. If there's a problem with something posted it would be nice to get at least an email instead of *poof* gone since we're looking for clarification. - assuming Houzz pulled it.

Julia, what is your daylily in the photo. Trying to delete with a mac. Well that didn't work Try one more time That works. I used the houze photo button to load pic from my computer. The photo now shows before posting (did not before) theirs a little x in corner. Click x picture goes away before posting. Use can use the right side of houzz photo to upload from computer without uploading photos to houzz.
