When I click on Windows Media Center, I get the main screen where I can select TV, Pictures Videos, etc.
I know I have hundreds of pictures in a number of folders.
When I select Pictures to be shown, although it tells me there are a number of pictures, when I try to display them it tells me "No Pictures were found".
Is this feature using a "Library" and I have to build the Library from all my Pictures in folders? How to do it if it has to be done?

The thumbnails in the media center is probably messed up. The first link below provided the causes for the corrupted thumbnails and the second link has a reg file that you can download & merge into your Windows registry right from the desktop.

You do have to build the Library.

From Vista's Media Center UI ...

Scroll to Tasks >> Settings >> Select Library Setup >> Then Add folder to watch.
