Windows Forum / Windows XP / Photos / November 2005MS Office Photo Manager
I'm using WinXP, and just installed MS Office 2003. My problem is that MS Office Photo Manager takes 4 minutes to load! Even if I click on an image file from Windows Explorer the file takes 4 minutes to display in Picture Manager. Excel, Word, PowerPoint all load in an instant. I've tried uninstalling Office 2003 and reinstalling, but the result is the same. Any ideas would be very welcome. The Picture Manager is just that, a manager. If you have many images on your computer the Manager goes out and finds everyone of them before opening. Use some other viewer for your images such as www.irfanview.com or Microsoft Fax and Picture viewer (already on your computer). You might think about an updated video driver Slide down the acceleration down on your adapter, control panel, display folder, settings tab, advanced button, troubleshoot tab. Slide down the acceleration down a couple of notches, then open the Manager, if it opens faster then go to the manufacturer's web site and look around for an updated graphics driver.

MVP How to ask a newsgroup question: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 I would delete it and use almost anything else! Picasa2 from Google is free and fifty times better. I don't believe that Microsoft has ever looked really seriously at photography. SignatureQuilly, Have a look at the new Anti-Spyware program CounterSpy I recommend it, it worked for me at, http://quilljar.users.btopenworld.com/ I agree with you about Picasa2 - very slick. However it does not display all image file types, which is a major shortcoming. To my knowledge it won't manage (*.MIX) files created in Picture it! > I would delete it and use almost anything else! > Picasa2 from Google is free and fifty times better.

To my knowledge it won't manage (*.MIX) > files created in Picture it! ================================= Microsoft abandoned the .mix format in 2002 when they introduced .png-plus. MS Picture It!, MS Digital Image and some of the MS Office programs (Publisher, PowerPoint, Word, etc) will open Picture It! .mix files. The evaluation version of PolyView may allow you to batch reformat your .mix files. You can download an evaluation copy at the following link: PolyView www.polybytes.com (Go to...Downloads / PolyView 4.271 Setup Program) When you open PolyView...go to... File / Format Conversions... Browse to the folder your .mix files are saved in and open the drop window and choose "All Files". Left click the "Add All" button. Left click the "Continue" button... Choose your "Destination Format" JPEG Choose your JPEG quality...100 Choose a "Destination Folder"... Left click the "Start" button. Some older .mix files that were created with photodraw can pose some problems, have a look at this article: (308584) PI: Error Message: Sorry, This File Can't Be Opened http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=308584 SignatureJohn Inzer MS Picture It!
