photodraw: problem saving file jpg bmp tif... except .mix

I recently installed Photodraw on a new system running Windows XP and
Office 2000 premium using an account with admin rights. When a limited user goes to use
the product they cannot save projects in different image formats. For
example, if a user open an image(jpeg) and then
changes that image(bmp) photodraw acts as if it saved that file (no error) but
when you go to the location the file is not there. If you go to open
photodraw, the first box that opens up asks you what you want to do, it
shows the file as an existing project. When you try to open it you
receive and error mesage: source file not found (because it does not save). It gets better. I have
some systems with the same setup that work. These systems were deployed
about 8 weeks ago. MS website for Photodraw is not
very good I try kbid 162785, 230902 (alreaydy get), 250272 (not for my problem), 318924 (idem). Thanks for
any help.

Hi There,

The following should assist you.

Use Registry Editor at your own risk. For information about how to edit the
registry, view the "Changing Keys and Values" Help topic in Registry Editor
(Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit
Registry Data" Help topics in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up
the
registry before you edit it. If you are running Windows NT or Windows 2000,
you should also update your Emergency Repair Disk (ERD)

Grant Full Control permissions to Authenticated Users for the

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Graphics Filters key and

turn on the "Allow inheritable permissions from parent to propagate to this

object" security permission option. To do this, follow these steps to edit

the Windows registry:

1. Log on with Administrator rights.
2. Click Start menu, and then click Run.
3. In the Open box, type "regedt32.exe" (without the quotation marks) and
then click OK.
4. Expand the Windows registry, and select the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Graphics Filters

5. On the Security menu, click Permissions.
6. On the Security tab, click to select the "Allow inheritable permissions
from parent to propagate to this object" check box, and then click OK.

NOTE: If you receive the following error message, the problem may be that
you are not logged on with Administrator permissions.
For more information, please contact your network administrator. Unable
to save permission
changes on Graphics Filters. Access is denied.

7. Click the Add button and for now, Add the Authenticated Users group.
8. Click OK and on the Registry menu, click Exit.

NOTE: If after adding Authenticated Users group, the problem persists, add
the "Everyone" group.
