I don't have the tv photo replay installed on my PC. The
other sites that you gave does not have any answers to
my question. The program just stops responding and I
have to end program to get my pc going again. Mack

General Suggestions
===================================
I can offer you some *general* suggestions that
help me to run several versions of Picture It! /
Digital Image on my old PIII 500, Win XP Home,
SP1a...(fully updated from Windows Update site):
If you happen to have Adobe PhotoShop or
Elements installed...right click on a .jpg file
and choose Properties. Click the Photoshop
Image tab and uncheck the "Generate Thumbnails"
button, then click OK.
If you are running Norton AntiVirus 2004...add the
following files to the Auto-Scan Exclusion list:
Users of PI / DIP7.0...add piorg7.db
Users of PI / DIP9 or DIP10...add piorg.db
Also...the following software has been reported
to be incompatible with various Picture It! products.
Replay TV Software
Veritas Netbackup Professional backup
eFax Messenger Plus
It has also been reported that being on a network
can cause Picture It! to be slow.
Make certain that your Video, Printer and
Scanner drivers are the most current available.
Check the manufacturer's websites for updated
drivers.
It may be worth a try to reduce your Graphics
Hardware Acceleration as per the instructions
in the following KB article:
(272193) PI: How to Troubleshoot
Graphics Issues
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=272193
If this improves the situation, it is a strong
indicator that you need to update your video
driver.
Before opening Picture It...close all programs
running in the background...*especially* virus
scanners.
Run Disk Cleanup (all options), Error-Checking/
ScanDisk and Defrag regularly. (make sure
all your Temp and Temporary Internet files
are deleted).
If you are using the 2002 (or earlier) version
of Picture It, and have lots of images saved
in My Documents / My Pictures...it can help
to move them to a different location.
It also may help if you choose "Icon List"
instead of "Thumbnails" on your folder view
when you go to...File / Open. (this setting
will be reflected on your "Save As" screen also)
Having a hard drive that is 50% free doesn't
hurt either.
Running WinXP Home, I found that increasing
my paging file was beneficial...the following
article explains how to do it:
(308417) HOW TO: Set Performance
Options in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=308417
One last suggestion...open fewer images
and save often.
