Photoimpact in VISTA - HELP

[Arlexda]

Thank you - I tried to find that information re: PI in Vista on the Ulead and Corel site but there was no mention of it working in VISTA.

Thanks again for all your help,

I downloaded the trial version of PhotoImpact 12 onto my new computer that has Windows Vista Home Premium. It wouldn't work properly at all for me.
The program would load, but it would immediately freeze up.
I was hoping it would work for me as it certainly doesnt' work with Photoimpact 11 either...
I had high hopes for Vista but it really doesn't seem to be any more intuitive or useful than XP.

I went on the Photoimpact International site and it seems that there are a lot of people having problems with PI12 working in VISTA.

Maybe they will come up to a solution but, in the meantime - this has put a sprag in my creating efforts.

Anybody got any ideas re: a replacement program that works similar to PI. I have to have a program like this to create website graphics.

Being a member of TalkGraphics, I'm sure your attention has at some time be brought to XaraXtreme or XaraXtremePro?
Both of which work fine in Vista.

100% suited and ideal for Web Graphics - just look at Xaras home site which is created using their own software.

I did download the "trial" version of PI 12 and when I went to open it - the window that popped up said "Limited User - in essence I had to activate to use". Is that tacky or what?

I will check out the program you suggested - thanks. I am so upset about PI that I could just scream.

I second Sledgers post ...... If you want graphic software, Xara is very difficult to beat.

Thanks - after your first posting suggesting Xara, I have been going through the Xara Extreme tutorials and it looks like it can do all the things that PI can do. I really do like it so far.

Um... yea, PI is way too good not to have up and running properly... I would stick to XP for all the win goods and maybe go for a new mac running 10.5 for all those OS wishes
