If you have moved your My Photos/My Videos folder to another location, it seems Windows Photo Gallery gets confused.

Try restoring the default libraries as described here:

  1. In Windows Explorer, go to Libraries and delete Pictures and Videos (you may also have to delete Documents and Music).
  2. Right-click Libraries in the navigation pane, then select Restore Default Libaries from the context menu.
