1.0 out of 5 stars Pathetic, January 5, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Microsoft Picture It 2002 [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

This program seems to depend on components in IE5.5. I had IE5.5 already installed, but Picture It still did not seem to install correctly, yielding multiple scripting errors every time I launched the program or tried to access the "Start page". The Readme file was unhelpful. As the first reviewer indicated, the installer does not allow you to reinstall on top of an existing installation (!) but I did resort to uninstalling and reinstalling. I also reinstalled IE. No luck.

1.0 out of 5 stars Picture It! Too Much Of A Technical Hassle, May 30, 2002

This review is from: Microsoft Picture It 2002 [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

This program is difficult to use with Windows 98. Freezes, crashes and error messages are not uncommon. I spent an hour and a half on the phone with the Microsoft Help desk, and even they couldn't get the program running. The Help Desk admitted to me other users have had problems. There is some inherent coding glitch. While the graphics are beautiful, it just wasn't worthe the money or the effort.

1.0 out of 5 stars Picture It Crash, December 11, 2001

By 

Willard (Alpine, Texas United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Microsoft Picture It 2002 [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

This program crashed every time I clicked on "close" for a picture or "home".Eventually I could not get "Home" so was barred from "Get a Picture". The CD would not permit a reinstall
so that ended any further tries.
