can I get my Microsoft Photo Editor to transfer over to Windows 7

Maybe it's time to get a Mac.

Fortunately, I still have my old Office 97 discs. This trick works like a charm--thanks! Microsoft Photo Editor is one of those rare programs that's fast and effective--written in an era before bloatware. I'm glad I can get it back onboard for Win 7.

Hi Anishtiway,

Welcome to Microsoft Answers.

Unfortunately, Microsoft Photo editor cannot be transfered to windows 7. Paint is a feature in Windows 7 with which you can edit pictures. You can use Paint like a digital sketchpad to make simple pictures, creative projects, or to add text and designs to other pictures, such as those taken with your digital camera.

Which would be fine if that was what one needed.  Unfortunately, I used to cut the screen shots down to what was required and was able to save them in another FORMAT other than BMP so that OUTLOOK could send them.  Now I can not cut what I need, and can not mail it because it is too large.  Nice 'solution'.

Some of us still want that photo ed program and still find our way here.  I lost it with the update to windows 7.  I think if I just keep checking someonw will know how to get around this program and I can use the best little editor I ever found once again.

MS giveth and MS taketh away. what a pain in the butt!
