I want my MS Photo Editor back!
Let me start by saying
![]() 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! End of Rant So, does anyone know how I can get this to work without overtaxing my mediocre computer skills? ![]() |

if you download windows live essentials then leave all the other programs unchecked for install except windows live photo gallery ( i think thats what its called) then you will have your old photo viewer / editor, set it as default for opening photos and your good to go
Windows Live Essentials: Photo Gallery its even better than before. |

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. Have a read through this tutorial: SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker Just out of interest, what image type are you trying to open? |

Attachment 205918 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. Have a read through this tutorial: SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker Just out of interest, what image type are you trying to open? ![]() Just ran system file checker and everything was ok. Ran it as admin but path was C:\users\me> instead of C:\Windows\system32> like in the tutorial. The 'target' and 'start in' paths were correct according to tutorial. Shame I'm totally obsessed with this now.... |
