Hi darloma

You can pick up a copy of XP Pro quite cheep, Partition your HDD and install via safe mode first stage (because XP is older then Vista) dual boot will then show after boot post (this way you can even have a tri boot)

Found fix! Worked for me. I have Vista Home Premium. Now, why won't microsoft tell us this!

No guarantees but the following user reports
success running Picture It! 2002 on Vista.

If you try it...please share the result with this
newsgroup.

=======================

I know I'm probably bumping up an ancient post, but I actually found the
solution to this dilemma.
I know how great a program that Picture It! is, and I worked at this
for hours before I finally got it to work. Here's what I did:
1. Explored the CD after it was in the drive, right clicked on "Setup",
and selected "Run as Administrator"
2. I selected the "minimum" installation, I haven't confirmed whether
it would work with the typical one yet, but it has all the same
features.
3. After installing, I right-clicked the program, and set the
compatibility back to "Windows 95", Disabled visual themes, and disabled
desktop composition, and selected "Run as administrator".

The program worked perfectly for me after this. Hope this helps the
other people who I know are struggling with this same problem
