Summary: Seems great for a photo editing novice like myself
Review: I am not the most experienced with photo editing programs, but Picture It seems great. They have an abundance of things you can do with photos and an abundance of things you can create with photos. I use this as my scanning software as well. It has functionality for digital cameras, but I haven't tried that yet. The other reviewers that I have read have had installation problems. My software came already installed on my new Windows XP computer, so I didn't have to install it. I haven't had any problems or error messages. It may just be that it doesn't play well with older operating systems.

Summary: it was good when it worked
Review: I had the program installed. Then all of a sudden it said the program was corrupted. I tried to reinstal the progrm and itwon't install. Maybe I got a bad cd but the rest of the works 2002 suite installed perfectly. If you use this program get ready for anything can happen.

Summary: Picture It Crash
Review: 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.

Summary: ***DON'T BUY IT****
Review: This program has issues. As I'm not a computer programmer, but have install many applications on to my desk top. Picture it software, will not install correctly. On my initially installation, when trying to launch the program, I too receive error after error. I proceeded to uninstall and reinstall and no luck. I was really excited about this program, because of the Newsletter application. However, instead disappointed that I was not able to use the software. To those of you who research 1st, and buy 2nd, stay away from MicroSoft Picture IT.

Summary: Picture It! Too Much Of A Technical Hassle
Review: 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.

Summary: Pathetic
Review: 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.

Summary: Picture It 2002 UK edition
Review: Using win2k pro operating system. Program will load ok, but trying to use it is hopeless,when trying to access clip art it asks for alternating CD's(the ones with clipart on them)but never recognizing either.Importing photos it just crashes with runtime errors. It didnt even load with ME or 98 either except once,when it slowed the computer to 286 speed(remember those).Cant get money back from supplier so £32 in Mr Gates's pocket !!
