Microsoft Picture It incompatibility with Windows 7 and the alternatives for the .mix files.

I have been using Microsoft Picture It for years to design a ton of graphics for my business and now I bought a new pc with Windows 7 and find that my true love Picture It! is not compatible.  I never dreamed that this would be the case for a software that is not even a decade or just spent thousands on the new pc would sit immediately to the store that it came.  I really feel that Microsoft has cheated me on something that I paid for and invested so much work making it unusable, and it brought my small business to a standstill.  What other program is available that is compatible with Windows 7 that will allow me to edit and view existing and another .mix Picture It! file format and contain all the features of Picture It?  I'd be willing to buy other Microsoft software to Picture It compatible with Windows 7 if necessary.

Hi all

I know you are all disappointed that Microsoft Picture It is not compatible with Windows 7.

Your comments would be better heard if you send to the site Windows 7 comments.
http://mymfe.Microsoft.com/Windows%207/feedback.aspx?formid=195

Here are your options when the software is not compatible:

If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.

Use the following steps:
(1) right click on the program
2) click Properties
3) click on the Compatibility tab
(4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows XP, Windows Vista or other operating system, the program has been run successfully.

Check out the link here: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

If you are running Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate version, install Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/default.aspx) and run your software in Windows XP.

If you run Windows 7 Home Premium, try VirtualBox (www.virtualbox.org) or VMware Player
(www.vmware.com) or any other virtualization 3party software and install a separate copy of Windows XP (family or professional edition) for this purpose. You can find the virtualization software free that will run on Windows 7 Home Premium.

  • Problem with Windows Explorer and the recorded files

    When I save files from the internet and then open the folder with Windows Explorer in the backed up files, I find that WE consider not save them on my hard drive "change" more. I know it's strange, but I tend to retain files roughly in the order that I saved them, rather than by the name of the file or anything else. So now to manually change the files in a certain way, then save them to get them organized as I want. Of course, this can become very painful and long if I have a lot of files to organize this way. My question is: How can I get Windows to consider saving a file on my HDD as change? I use Firefox and updated recently, which may be the cause of the problem.

    Hi Flingle,

    Were you able to save and access files correctly before you update Firefox?

    You can create a new folder & try to download the file inside of Internet Explorer & check if the problem persists.

    Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

    It seems, after a few months of service, there are several problems with this printer and Windows 7 only.  We have several offices that use this printer and almost each one has similar problems.  It will printer randomly disappear, not being able to print anything at random times of the day, to the spooler crashing every two minutes or more.  There is no problem at all with Windows XP or Vista, only 7.  Reinsalling the printer driver takes care of the problem for a few days, but the questions up all over again.

  • License with Windows 7 and the Satellite L875 - 11 M problem

    Hello

    I recently (about a month) sent my computer to TOSHIBA because of a hardware problem, so I think they changed the PCB from what I remember. My computer is a Satellite L875 - 11M and I am on Windows 7 Home Premium.

    Since yesterday, I lost my wallpaper on the desktop (do not know if it is normal or not) and got a popup telling me that my copy of windows 7 is not genuine. I tried to turn it on, but it has not been accepted as valid. I searched a bit on the Internet and found that the license key is linked with the BIOS of the motherboard, which may have been changed a month ago, so it seems to be the source of the problem.

    How can I solve it? Asking Microsoft for a new key to license, or Toshiba, or is there a simple procedure? I already tried the 'slmgr /rilc"and"slmgr /rearm"orders with no result.

    Recorded on label product key Microsoft belongs to the original version of recovery that you got with your laptop, so it cannot be used for activation.

    I can't explain why pre-installed version has expired, but you need to do now is install Win7 with original Toshiba recovery disc. After doing this you have will activate and original OS version that belongs to your laptop.

    I just hope that you created recovery disks Toshiba s advice.

  • We have a PC with Windows 7 and have had it for several years, but now can't access my account.

    We have a HP PC with Windows 7, and the normal uses are e-mail, online banking, etc, very few games and these. In the last week, I have been unable to sign my account when I try to do it I wonder an administrator password that I don't have, nor had he ever. I can access some of my files through my son's account but not almost those I need. How can I get my account back once again?

    Here you go:

    1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
    2. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
    3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
    4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
    5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
    6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    7. Configure Windows in two weeks.
    8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.

  • Benefits of having two disk partitions; an a small boot with Windows 8, and drive the rest?

    Just got a new computer Asus Cm6870 with Windows 8 and a 2 TB hard drive.

    I would have preferred a player only, that way my libraries (documents, music, pictures, videos,...), downloads and other data files can be on the same drive.

    What would be the downside to having a single disk?

    I have an another 3 TB drive that I use for large files of video production and music.  That would be my d:.

    Hi Phantomiz,

    Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    According to the description, it seems you want to know about several partitions on the hard drive. I'll be happy to help you with this problem.

    It is not recommended to have the data and files of the operating system on the same partition. It is because if the operating system files are corrupt, your computer go to no start situation. In this scenario, you will lose all the data that you have on your c: drive. Otherwise, if you save your data in the d: drive, you can reinstall the c: drive and your data is safe in the d: drive.

    I hope it helps. If you have any questions about Windows in the future, please let us know. We will be happy to help you.

  • I have problems with the installer of Windows and Windows Update, and the solutions that I found for the two each rely on the other broken system to fix the first.

    I use a laptop HP Pavilion dv4-1220us with Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1, a 64-bit operating system, and I have problems with Windows Update and Windows Installer. When I try to install programs, I get the following, or substantially similar message without the error code:

    "Error 1719. The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if Windows Installer is not installed properly. Contact your support team. »

    So I tried to download Windows Installer 4.5 and install it. When I try to start the installation, it always hangs on the first step, "Initializing Installation."

    After searching for a solution to this problem, I found that Windows Update may have a solution. So I downloaded the 64 bit version and got a file named 'file Windows6. 0-KB942288-v2 - x 64. I tried to run this file. He opened a box that said, in order "Prepare for Installation", "Full Preparation", and finally "Searching for Updates ', before you open a second box, which reads" click OK to install the following Windows software update: fix for Windows (KB942288). I clicked on OK in this box, which opened another box, which says at the top "updates are installed" and in a smaller section, "initializing for Installation................... »

    However, no matter how long it works, it never gets past "Setup initialization."... »

    So I tried to run Windows Update in Control Panel. He ran for a while, before giving a message saying "to check the updates, you must first install an update for Windows Update." I clicked on the button that says "install now". He has flashed, a moment, "download and installation of updates' before you go to the"check for Updates"and then he brought back the exact same upward ' to check updates, you must first install an update for Windows Update" message as before. I clicked install now once again, only to go into the exact same loop. After about four times in a loop, I gave up on it.

    So I tried to install Windows Installer 3.1v2, which took a while before saying "not enough memory is available to process this command." and the abandonment of the installation.

    So, I tried to download a program from 'Mr. Fix - it' of Microsoft. It downloaded fine and then failed on installation, because of the same Setup error I received initially.

    Finally, I tried to restart my computer and each solution is represented. Then I clean my computer and each solution is represented.

    In conclusion, the mistakes that I have in Windows Update and Windows Installer cordoned off each other, as the mistakes of each program are based on the other program to be repaired. I'm at my wit's end here. My computer works fine without one, except that I can't install new programs. I can access the internet fine, access files fine, all my scans have developed own... I don't really know what is happening. Can someone help me with this?
