Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Music, Photo, Video / February 2008Microsoft Picture It! 2002
Since installing Vista, I have not been able to run this program. I have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail. The program opens fine, but if I try to do anything such as scanning or just bringing up a saved photo, a window pops up saying that "Picture It! has stopped working, A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". I have never received a solution and can not seem to find any information on microsoft's website. I have tried a few modifications that I've read on the microsoft site in regards to changing the combatibilty mode to windows XP (the previous system) and changing the settings by disabling the desktop composition and also running the program as an administrator. None corrected the issue. Any help or a posible recommedation for a similiar program that is free would be greatly appreciated. > Since installing Vista, I have not been able to run this program.

Certainly not the solution you want to hear... but there are two options that may be worth considering...if you have an older WinXP machine, continue running it there. And if you have a copy of WinXP that can be activated you might consider running it in a Virtual Machine inside Vista.

(The Digital Image line replaced Picture It!) If you would like to try the 2006 program there is a 60 day evaluation version that is still available for download. This trial is fully functional but does not include the pre-formatted projects or clipart.

I know how great a program that Picture It! is, and I worked at this for hours before I finally got it to work. Here's what I did: 1. Explored the CD after it was in the drive, right clicked on "Setup", and selected "Run as Administrator" 2. I selected the "minimum" installation, I haven't confirmed whether it would work with the typical one yet, but it has all the same features. 3. After installing, I right-clicked the program, and set the compatibility back to "Windows 95", Disabled visual themes, and disabled desktop composition, and selected "Run as administrator". The program worked perfectly for me after this. Hope this helps the other people who I know are struggling with this same problem :D SignatureMetalLace Where there's a will, there's usually a way. Good to hear you got it working. Signaturehttp://get.live.com/wlmail/overview > I know I'm probably bumping up an ancient post, but I actually found the > solution to this dilemma.
