Hello,

I know that this subject has been discussed 'ad nauseum'. However, here
goes. I currently have Picture It as mentioned in the Subject on Window XP
Operating System which was pre-installed on the Gateway computer back in
2002. We have a new Gateway computer which has the Windows Vista Home
Premium installed.

It seems that there are 'horror' as well as 'success' stories revolving
around the compatibility of Picture It into the new Vista Home Preimium. I
have read John Inzer's information about this version and that version, but
where do I find which version I have.

Could I possible use the disk which has the 'Picture It 2002' program which
was supplied to me from my Gateway back in 2002 and install it into my new
computer?
If this is a yes. Then the next question is, will it work? And then, will
it cause other system problems or make things go amuck in my new computer?

I know this is very elementary to a lot of you folks. Please know that I
appreciate you input and suggestions..........Sherry

I never use it.

Open it. Where you have "file, edit, view, etc", click on "help"> then
"about".
That will show the Version number.

If you have Picture it 2002 on your Works Suite disks, you can do a custom
install of only that one program. It has been a while since I tried to
install it (beta, I think) and if I remember there are incompatibilities
that prevented it from installing. I don't recall any permanent problems
from trying to install it and would use the compatibility wizard to do the
install.

Hello,
Wow the 'horror' stories keep growing. It sounds as if my Picture It 2002
will not be compatible with Vista. What about this solution? Since my
computer with Picture It 2002 has not yet been buried, would it be possible
to upgrade to a newer version of Picture It (such has been suggested by John
Inzer - PI99, PI2000, DIS9, DIS10 and DIS2006) while still using my old
computer and all my creations/work can then be transferred into the newer
Picture It on my old machine.

If this sounds like a feasible option, which Digital Program would accept
the Picture It 2002 prorgam into their program? .... Which would then be
accepted and compatible with Vista Home Premimuy It sounds to me that PI
2000, or PI 99 would be a step backward from 2002??? However, if that would
work to get my work up and running on Vista, I guess I am game. I might just
decide that the easier avenue will be to keep my Picture running on my old
computer until she dies and the new computer for everything else.

Thanks for listening and for any suggestions.....Sherry

If Picture It is working on your old machine and you plan to use it on the
old machine, why are you talking about upgrading?
Check out what format your files are in and check to see if you can save
them to a format that would be compatible with a Vista-ready program so in
the future you could transfer them over and continue to use them.

John,

I am talking about upgrading because the old machine is on her last legs.
We have had many problems fixed and it is wearing out. As an option, I am
just thinking it would be easier to keep it up and running just for the
'Picture It' program.
John, the format the files are in are obviously in the MPI 2002 format
where I can go in and make simple adjustments to the present artwork for use
in my business.
Where would I check to see which formats would be compatible with Vista Home
Premium? The formats would also have to be accessible for editing.

There are several formats that are in use, there is no MPI 2002 format. If
you are just playing with pictures from a camera, they are probably normal
..jpeg or .jpg format which you can import to Vista and use in any program.
The Vista photo gallery probably does most of what you do. If you are
making projects out of them they may be in the .php format and that will
require conversion.

I am not playing with just simple jpeg pictures.
I have created flyers, poster, banners, cards, etc.all of which are saved
in what I call the microsoft format (sorry if this is not the correct
teminology). All I know that this is one of the options (Picture It PNG
Plus, to be exact) when one clicks 'Save As' once something in Picture It has
been created.
This allows me to go in and make any amount of editiing that needs to be
done, which a jpeg, tiff of gif, enhanced metafile, etc does not allow.

As you may have guessed, I am not computer literate as to functionality and
compatibility of programs and files.

I still need assistance in the search for a program that I can put my
existing PI 2002 work into which will then be compatible with Vista Home
Premium.

You said:

I do not know where to get the information as to which programs would be
compatible with Vista. I have only read John Izner's suggestion about the
Anniversary edition. If I could drop my present work into that edition and
then drop the Anniversary edition into the Vista program, i wonder if that
would work? Does that sound workable??

If your pictures are .png, they are quite Vista friendly and you can copy
them over into Vista. You can purchase any program to manipulate them the
way you want, making sure it is Vista compatible. There are many good
programs for that purpose and it is very much a personal matter which one
anyone is comfortable with. Good luck.

A user posted a solution for installing this program over in
microsoft.public.windows.vista.music_pictures_video
on 2/29/2008

"I know I'm probably bumping up an ancient post, but I actually found the
solution to this dilemma.
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

Picture It 2002 won't run in Vista. You will have to install XP in a
virtual machine.

===========================
Your version is on your Install Disks.

Picture It! 2002 will not run on Vista.
(If you have a full retail version of XP
that can be activated you could run
a Dual Boot with Vista or run XP in a
Virtual Machine on your Vista system)

Now that you have Vista...your best bet
would be to try and find a copy of the
last version of Digital Image (new name
for Picture it!).

'Microsoft Digital Image Suite 2006
Anniversary Edition' is optimized for Vista.
You might find a copy online somewhere
like eBay or Amazon.

There's a 60 day trial version available for
download if you would like to give it a try:

Microsoft Digital Image
Starter Edition 2006

or...
[url]http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7C3B3DED-A15F-48C5-B724-7796FE8C151E&displaylang=en[/url]
(this product line has been
discontinued but you can still
download the Starter Version
and run it for 60 days)

Unlike the retail version...the trial does not
have the ability to create VCDs and it does
not include the clipart and pre-formatted
projects.
