I recently purchased a Windows 8 computer. I loaded a bunch of potos to my photo gallery. Now every time I open photo gallery I get the error message: Photo Gallery has stopped working, And then it closes. I cannot keep it open long enough for me to even try and search for a reason.

Hi pyrotime,

Thank you for posting this issue on the TechNet community forums.

From the description I understand that you're having problems with your Photo Gallery closing with the error message: "Photo Gallery has stopped working" after you loaded a bunch of photos onto it.

I am assuming everything was working fine before you uploaded the photos so it's possible that it's since become corrupted. However, there is a solution for everything. See this link:

Hi pyrotime,

"photo gallery"Do you mean the built-in windows store apps ?

Considering this is a brand new machine ,please manually check for updates for the machine and ensure the machine has got the latest updates.

Will the other store apps worked correctly ?
If only this specifci app won`t work correctly, we can try the fixit tool as Zach posted to have a check .

If the issue persists,we also can try to run the troubleshoot tool to have a check.
Apps troubleshooter

We also can clear the Windows Photo Gallery directory to have a check.
Here is a link for reference(Pay attention to Shane`s suggestion ):
