Consider the following scenario:

• On a Windows Vista-based computer, you use Windows Photo Gallery to print a photo.
• On the Windows Photo Gallery toolbar, you click Print. The How do you want to print your pictures dialog box appears.
• You select the paper type that you want to use.

In this scenario, the paper type that you select is unexpectedly changed to a different paper type. However, when you print the picture, the paper type that you selected is actually used.

Also, the Adobe Photo Downloader for Photoshop Elements does not automatically appear.

Another video from Brandon LeBlanc over at The Windows Experience Blog. This one focuses on Online Photo Backup, one of the components of Windows Live OneCare 2.0.

When you use the Photos screen saver in Windows Vista, the computer does not automatically go to sleep. You expect the computer to go to sleep when it reaches the idle time-out.
