getting functionality on Picture Manager
I have Office Small Business 2007 running on a machine with Windows Vista. I
believe Microsoft Picture Manager should be an integral component of my Office suite, but I can't get full functionality on it. It lets me view pictures but I can't edit them. When I open a picture I get the activation wizard telling me that my "trial" has expired and inviting me to purchase. When I go through that process I'm invited to enter my product key and then to close and restart. When I do that and try again to edit a picture, the whole circle starts again. I've tried uninstalling Office and re-installing, but that made no difference. Does anyone have any ideas that will help me get it working?

getting functionality on Picture Manager
I'm not sure why you can't run the Picture Manager. Have you completely
uninstalled previous versions of Office? It may be the reason why, the Picture Manager is part of Office 2003 and I think Office XP. Try using Paint.NET for your edits, it is free and very good. http://www.getpaint.net/ You can do simple editing with the Photo Gallery. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Terri" wrote in message ...

Terri, In retrospect I have discovered the Picture Manager is available in
Office 2007 but is not installed by default. Insert you setup disk, click add features or something similar, find the Picture Manager and click run all from my computer. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Mary Sauer" wrote in message ...

getting functionality on Picture Manager
I think this is a cock-up from Microsoft. Had a similar issue - installed a
Trial Version of One Note then when the trial ended Picture Manager lost functionality. But hangon - I didn't install the 2007 Version of Picture Manager! Only way to fix it was to uninstall One Note Vista Trial, then as Picture Manager still didn't work, uninstall then re-install Picture Manager (which was a 2003 version). I've now been telling friends and clients not to touch Office Vista with a barge pole until they sort themselves out. Sorry but the new version screwing up the last version shows to me how little testing was done.

Never install any version of Office before Service Pack 1 is available. Unless, of course, you like solving problems on your computer(s).

A very good point and one I should have stuck with. My own fault for thinking
that maybe this time Microsoft had got it right! ;o) After using Office Vista I am sticking with Office 2003 - easy to use, quick, plenty of functionality and a much easier to use interface as far as I am concerned.
