Microsoft Photo Story 3-How do to customize motion and picture formats

Problems with photo story 3

I love this program and just got a new computer with windows 7.  He did install the program BUT it is EXTREMELY difficult to customize the movement and the photos do not want me to drag them to new heights. This is one of the best features of the program.  Help I'm going crazy with this.  One of the main reasons we got this big new computer was so that I could play with my photos and more photos and effectively more holiday DVD.  I was scanning the hundreds of old slides for my father and put it on DVD so that he can enjoy all his old memories.

Any help is appreciated!

Hello
 
 
a. what happens when you drag the image to a new format?
b. has she ever work properly on Windows 7?
c. is a problem with all the pictures or a particular file type?
 
Because Photo Story 3 is compatible with Windows 7 and it should work fine.
 
  • Rather than click Import pictures, you can open the folder where your photos, click on the photos you want to import, and then make them slide to import and organize your photos on the page. However, you cannot drag image files with the following file name extensions to import and organize your photos page: .tga, .psd, .eps, .pcd and PCX. You must click on the button import the photos to import these files.
  • You can select and move only one picture at a time in the film strip. More you drag an image to a new location, you can click on an image and move it by clicking on the button move forward or the button to go back on the right side of the film strip.
Another thing you can try is install Photostory 3 in Windows XP mode and check if it works.
 
I hope this helps.

Thank you, and in what concerns:

    Maybe you could use Movie Maker to edit music files...
    It has an option for file sharing.

    (FWIW... after having been edited each individual piece... you could also)
    Add all the music files to the timeline and save them as one
    single music file.)

    Import a music file in Movie Maker and drag it to the
    Audio / music. (Make sure that the file is moved all the)
    way to the left).

    Split the file and click right/remove the unwanted parts.

    When editing is finished... go... File / save movie file...
    and follow the instructions... the resulting file will be a. WMA
    Music file.

    If you are unable to import music files into Movie Maker you
    may have to convert them to the. WMA format to
    the compatible.

    There are to many converters available on the net...
    Some are free - some details... the following freeware
    is but one example. :

    When you have installed Freemake... Open Freemake
    and drag and drop your music files on the main screen.

    your audio files are saved in the folder.

    Select (highlight) the files you want to import into

  • Photo Story 3 do not install or work on the final version of Windows 8

    I received an email from a family member who said...

    "I have a question of photo story. Last night, I installed Windows 8 preview version on Win 7 64-bit PCs who had installed photo story to test if it would work on 8 to win. It worked with a mouse problem, that I got with the program under Win 7. So, today, I bought a copy of win 8 and installed on the PC even after reinstalling Win 7 and Photo Reportage on the PC. This time I get the message this Photo story is not compatible with Windows 8. What gives. It works on preview but not the final version. Am I missing something? Can I make it work? »

    My personal experience with 12 apps I've tried so far Photo Story 3 is the only one who is not to install or work on the 9200 Build Windows 8 enterprise.
    We've been through the same thing when Windows 7 is released. Photo Story 3 worked on the preliminary but abruptly stopped when the final version has been published. He solved and works fine on Windows 7.

    I managed to install Photo Story 3 on Windows 8 Enterprise x 64 and Windows Enterprise 8.1 Preview x 64.  I also discovered exactly what it breaks, and I guess that's what beat Photo Story 3 for people on Windows 7: LegitCheckControl.dll

    If you download from the Microsoft Web site through the alternative method the photo story 3 application will install and work fine.  If however you choose to install the ActiveX Windows Genuine Advantage version, it installs the LegitCheckControl.dll, some registry settings and will result in the following errors.

    Setup error:

    "Photo Story 3 for Windows cannot be installed on this version of Windows. Check the system requirements for photo story 3 for Windows before attempting to install the program".

    Error launching application:

    "Photo Story 3 for Windows cannot run this version of Windows.  Check the requirements for photo story 3 for Windows before trying to execute it."

    While the problem is happening, you can install Photo Story 3 on systems that are affected by the WGA ActiveX components through the command line with the following example:

    MsiExec.exe /i Pstory.msi/passive SKIPOSCHECK = 1 NOLEGITCHECK = 1

    To solve two problems:

    As the installation of the ActiveX program does not include an uninstall program, the best solution is to rename the WGA DLL via PowerShell or command line as an administrator for that photo story may find it is no longer, and so you can enable it again in the future without problem.

     

    Windows x 86:

    PS: "Rename-Item $env:windir\System32\LegitCheckControl.DLL LegitCheckControl.Disabled.DLL.

    CMD: "rename %windir%\System32\LegitCheckControl.DLL LegitCheckControl.Disabled.DLL.

    Windows x 64:

    PS: "Rename-Item $env:windir\SysWOW64\LegitCheckControl.DLL LegitCheckControl.Disabled.DLL.

    CMD: 'rename %windir%\SysWOW64\LegitCheckControl.DLL LegitCheckControl.Disabled.DLL.

  • Photo Story 3 blurs the text and format of appropriate background music

    I had a lot of trouble with a blurry text on Photo Story 3. It seems perfectly fine to start, and then whenever I saw it, it's blurred beyond belief. In addition, I don't know the type of music format for the background music. What can I do to fix the text, and what file format do I for the background music?

    Many different audio formats would work but the best
    choice is always WMA or WAV. Sometimes, it can
    having problems when you save a project as a result of the use of certain
    audio formats.

    As for your photos... If nothing else... to enlarge a
    size at least equal to your screen resolution.

    That will probably not improve the appearance of the
    photos, but it will improve the text (fuzzy) pixelated
    problem.

    First of all, lets you know what is the resolution of your screen. Right
    Click your desktop, then choose Properties / Settings tab...
    Watch the screen resolution slider to see your current
    Resolution of the screen. For this tutorial, let's say your screen
    The resolution is 1024 x 768.

    If you download and install the free Win XP ImageResizer
    PowerToy it will add a 'Resize' option to the right click
    menu.

    Can resize the following free PowerToy for Windows XP
    lots of photos very quickly:

    Windows XP downloads
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Windows-XP

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Download and install: ImageResizer.exe
    (Filename: ImageResizerPowertoySetup.exe)
    (does not work on Vista)

    Now you can open any folder containing images and
    you will have an option to resize. Just right-click the selected
    (highlighted) image files and choose resize images of
    the menu. You can select a picture or an entire group.

    The program puts in the folder with resized copies
    your originals.

    (Tip: * never * crush your originals... especially if you were)
    resizing of the originals to a smaller size)

    Resized copies will the custom word added to the
    file name so that they will not be easy to find when you are ready to add
    paste them into your photo story project.

    To ensure that images in the orientation to portrait and landscape
    are resized to the same size... go to... Advanced... and
    tick... Customize... Enter the largest number in these two areas.

    IOW... in this tutorial assuming that the screen resolution 1024 x 768...
    Enter 1024 in these two areas.
