Vista and MS PictureIT.

It`s Great to See (MS) Microsoft. Leaving people out dry with there broken
Software. I`ve been using MS PictureIT Since 2002, and consider myself an
expert. Valuable Time spend learning a program, to have it ripped from your
hands with no replacement and how long will that last. digital image suite
already on it`s way out . how many programs do I need to learn, how many do I
have to buy. Or is time to switch to MAC!!!!!!!!. Why Microsft. WHY.

Yes...it's disappointing that some versions of Picture It!
are not compatible with Vista. And who knows...a patch
could be released at some point in the future but I have
no idea when or if that will happen. The following link
is the most recent compatibility update:

(943302) December 2007 Windows Vista
Application Compatibility Update
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943302/en-us

However you could move to 'Digital Image Suite 2006
Anniversary Edition' which is optimized for Vista. Even
though the line has been discontinued it's still possible
to find copies at sites like Amazon and eBay. ( If you
purchase the earlier version, 'Digital Image Suite 2006'...
there is a Vista compatibility patch available)

MS Digital Image 2006
*Vista Compatibility* Update
http://tinyurl.com/w5u58
(Not required for the Anniversary Edition)

If you have not tried DIS2006...there is a 60 day trial
available:

Microsoft Digital Image
Starter Edition 2006
http://tinyurl.com/28loxr
(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.

And...maybe Adobe PhotoShop Elements or
Corel Paint Shop Pro would be worth a try.
