| removed Picture manager and reinstalled it. There was no change. One
| of the first things I did before posting here was to completely
| uninstall Office and reinstall. Unfortunately, it remembered that
| there was that stupid trial version hanging around. Any other
| ideas??? BTW, typing with my fingers crossed was tough!
It's
| my sense of humor keeping me from fixing this whole thing with a
| large sledge hammer!

||
|| In Programs and Features, click on 2007 Microsoft Office System,

|| Continue.
||
|| Expand Office Tools, and set Microsoft Office Picture Manager to Not
|| Available.
||
|| Click Continue, and follow the prompts to complete removing MOPM.
||
|| Reboot. The repeat the procedure, setting MOPM to Run from My
|| Computer.
||
|| Cross your fingers. And see if it works now.
||
|| If it does... be alert for the possibility that installation might've

|| SBE, reboot, and reinstall. (Windows will remember your activation
|| information -- at least it does here.)

||
|| ||| Yes, I'm running Vista. The search came back with
||| 2007 Microsoft Office System
||| 2007 Microsoft Office Primary Interop Assemblies
||| Microsoft Office Small Business Connectivity components
|||
||| I searchd for Picture Manager, Office Professional, trial version,
||| and other
||| combinations of terms with no results returned. I'm not having
||| much luck with the uninstall of the trial version. What should I
||| try next?

|||| for example, I have (among others):
||||
|||| Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003
||||
|||| Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007
||||
|||| Sometimes the names are hard to see, so you might want to expand
|||| the Name field at the top so you can see the entire name. If my
|||| "theory" is correct,
|||| you very likely have two copies of Picture Manager installed, and
|||| you're trying to run the one from the trial version of Office.

||||||
|||||| ||||||| On my new computer, I got Office Small Business edition. It
||||||| came with
||||||| a
||||||| trial version of professional. Picture manager comes with the
||||||| small business
||||||| edition, but when the trial version of the professional
||||||| expired, the tools
||||||| became in operable in picture manager. When the program opens,
||||||| I get a
||||||| pop
||||||| up box that tells me to upgrade to professional to use Access.
||||||| I don't
||||||| want
||||||| Access, just picture manager. I tried to reinstall Picture
||||||| manager thru
||||||| Add/Remove programs to get the tools back, but it won't work.
||||||| I can still
||||||| open pictures with the program, but am not allowed to edit them.
||||||| Can
||||||| anyone
||||||| help me fix this?
||||||| Thanks,
