• Problem with Microsoft Photo Editor

  I have thousands of photos on my PC (Vista/IE8) I could see without problem for years. But suddenly, even if I'm still able to import new pictures, when I try to open them I get the following message: Microsoft Photo Editor - error reading the file.

  But this seems to apply only to photos, including those that I have seen in the past, taken on my current camera, a Panasonic Lumix DMC - FS7. Everything else seems to be affected.

  Also, oddly enough, I can see the photos in slideshow mode!

  I would appreciate a solution.

  The copy of MS Photo Editor 3.1 I have on my system
  should not be installed/uninstalled.
   
  When you run the .exe (microphotoed.exe) files are
  unzipped in a folder of your choice and the program
  runs from there.

  To get rid of it... just delete the files/folders.

  There are 14 files in all:

  CHALKCHA. DLL

• can I get my Microsoft Photo Editor to transfer to Windows 7

  I use Micro Photo Editor to create my art and need to know if I can make it work with window 7, I have Windows XP and I know it didn't transfer to Vista which I did not like Vista anyway

  Hi Anishtiway,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site.

  Unfortunately, Microsoft Photo editor cannot be transferred to windows 7. Paint is a feature in Windows 7, with which you can edit the photos. You can use Paint like a notebook of digital sketches for pictures and creative simple projects or to add text and other images, such as those taken with your digital camera.

  Click on the link "getting started with paint ' http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Getting-started-with-Paint

• ERROR READING FILE in microsoft photo editor

  I get this message if I try to open an image (new or old). To my knowledge we are not doing nothing differently when we load the digital camera. Here are JPEGs. The help topic makes no sense because the guests do not match my guests of computers. I can't find Office 2000 or Microsoft Photo Editor under programs in Control Panel. I thought that perhaps a uninstall/reinstall would be useful.

  If you prefer to continue using the Photo editing software...
  I have no solution for you. Maybe
  someone else offers you assistance.

  BTW... If you do not want to change your image
  as explained in my previous associations
  message... try to access your photos from
  your folder my pictures and not from Photo
  Editor in Chief.

• Microsoft Photo Editor - cannot enlarge the image

  I use Photo Editor with Microsoft Windows XP Microsoft 2002 and cannot enlarge a photo and zoom in and zoom out.  When I go to open a file and enlarge, I get a message saying "error reading file".  I noticed that this only happens if the photo was taken with a digital camera, namely, Nikon Coolpix L20.  I have no problem, expand and resize a picture taken with a 35mm camera.  The two images are JPEG.  Can someone tell me why this happens and what to do to solve the problem?

  Editing software Photo MS error when trying to open the photos
  more than 5.5 million pixels "error reading file".

  It was discovered by MichelDenie as the following
  update causes this problem. Security update for
  Microsoft Office XP (KB2289162).

  2289162 MSKB article indicates that the graphics
  filters have been updated to versions November 16, 2010.

  That could very well be what caused incompatibility
  with the old Ms Photo Editor

  Hello BROOKEANNA,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

  The pictures you are not able to load, they are in a different format that the other photos you can see?   This subject has always taken place or something recently?   You have changed something with your operating system before this problem?

  Please let us know status!

  I have just left click on the file "microphotoed.exe" and he unzips the files in
  the same folder... then I can run the program by clicking on the left
  "PHOTOED. EXE'

  In XP when you right click on a photo and choose... Send mail Reicpient...
  You should see a dialog box resize... If it does not appear... try the following:

  Reach... Start / run... and type or copy / paste the following command:

  1. open programs and features by clicking on the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click programs, and then clicking programs and features.
  2. click on the screen saver that you want to delete and then click on uninstall.
