  Hi Sallymovinon,

  If you want to open the picturers in another application other than paint, you can change the default programs settings to another application and check if it helps.

• How to change the default program for opening images

  I have several Versions of Photoshop element installed, but when I click on an image to open it, it is automatically defaulted to PSE3.  How can I change this so PSE8 is the default value?

  Well, I might suggest that you uninstall the older versions of PSE, but if you do not want to...

  1. Right-click on an image file
  2. Select open with >
  3. Select Choose program
  4. Click the Browse button
  5. Navigate to the executable file for PSE8 (probably something like C:\Program Adobe Photoshop Elements 8\PhotoshopElements.exe), and then click Open
  6. Back to screen 'Open with', check the box "Always use the selected program to open this type of file"
  7. Click OK

• Default program - ZIP files

  I have a weird problem with Vista. Adobe Reader has been changed somehow, the default program for .zip files. I don't know how it happened, but I don't seem to be able to cancel it. The only thing I can do is to change the default program to something else, but I do not see all of the options for "unassociating" or run. Any ideas how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.
