I have been using Microsoft Picture It! Premium 10 (mpi10) with Windows XP for quite some time until just recently when I bought a new computer with Windows 8.1. However, when I tried to install mpi10 on my new computer, I realized the two weren't compatible.
I really like mpi10, & I work with pictures quite often. Question is... is there a way to make it compatible, or is there another photo editing software that it compares with, that is compatible with Windows 8.1, & that I can download from your site?

Hi,
Yes, as per the compatibility status on Windows Compatibility center is concerned, Microsoft Picture It is not compatible with Windows 8.1. Refer to the link to get the details:
However, in Windows 8.1 Operating System, you can use Windows Live Photo Gallery in place of Microsoft Picture It:

The answers are 'perfunctory redundancy'.
me too
I am very unhappy with Microsoft's choice to make it impossible to use Pictureit with the updated versions of windows. It's not fair, and I agree we've been robbed. I can't do necessary picture editing with the programs they have left us with to use. It seems to me I should have the option to keep it with all the windows updates. I would be so happy if Microsoft gave it back.
Resolved??? Hopefully....so far so good. Have now been using "Picture It" on Windows 10 64 bit.....flawlessly for 2 weeks. Up until I found this solution it would not function. Freezing, unresponsive and constant crashes.
Go to search bar and type in: "run programs made for previous versions of windows" this will take you compatability trouble shooter......click "next". Then find "Picture It".....highlight and click "next". Then click "Troubleshoot program". At "problems you notice" check the top option......"program worked on earlier versions......." and click "next".
....now is where this makes no sense but has worked for me. You would think we should pick "Windows XP, service pack 3".....but this will NOT work. Picture It will still continue to crash. But I chose "Windows 7".......then click "next" and test program. As I said....at these settings, Microsoft Picture It has been working perfectly for me for 2 weeks now. I hope this works for you! Picture It is a GREAT program!
