I detest all photo programs other than the old MS Photo Editor. I managed to migrate it thru to my Vista computer but, now I am using Win 7 x64 and it just won't work. Does anyone know a work around for this? I've read that it can be used on x32. I've got the exe file in a folder in Program Files and I've changed compatibility to Win 7 but, still doesn't recognize file types.
I guess I shouldn't be too surprised the knuckleheads at MS took away everyone's favorite photo editor. I don't need to organize, sort, search, file, send, resend, forward ANY picture on my computer. I need some quick necessary editing on occasion. Photo Editor was perfect!
So, does anyone know how I can get this to work without overtaxing my mediocre computer skills?
right click on the photo, then left click on edit.
Rt-clk on file | choose Open with | do you see your desired photo editor?
Totally agree --- Photo Editor is/was the best! I also managed to download it onto my Vista --- let's see if this same download link will work for your Win 7.
"Try here" http://www.ceveni.com/2008/04/micro... I did, it downloaded perfectly, and Voila!
Out of sheer interest, I tried the MS Photo Editor link (the first one in the above quote) and it installs just fine under Windows 7 64-bit.
its even better than before.
I installed it just fine. Getting it to work is another story. Does it open pics for you? When I open Photo Editor I get: 'No file format information can be found in the Registry'. So you know of some other setting I should try? Thanks.
It opened images without any difficulty as per this screenshot.
You might want to run a system file check as it would appear your system registry is corrupted, which is not really a Microsoft Photo Editor problem.
Just out of interest, what image type are you trying to open?
