Problem with Gallery App on Amazon Fire 7 Tablet

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]The Gallery App won't open and I get the message that it's looking at the removable storage directory.

[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]There is nothing in the removable storage slot so somehow the directory the Gallery App looks at has changed.

[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Any idea how I can rectify this fault? Looking at 'settings' then 'apps' does not seem to give an option to change the directory.[/FONT]

    Which specific Gallery app? (It's not a default app on a Fire).

    In Settings | Apps and Games have you tried deleting the Cache and Data then running the app again?

    What about doing the above then uninstalling/reinstalling it?

    It doesn't exist on my Fire 7 ... and I don't remember deleting it. And a quick look on the Amazon App Store doesn't yield any Gallery apps made by Amazon. The closest equivalent is by Laxmisoft.
