Kathy, If My Computer Starts Having Problems After Installing....
Dec 8, 2003 8:49AM PST

....a new program, I usually uninstall it. Make sure to follow the suggestions that Bob made above, then click on Start-Settings-Control Panel, then double click on the "Add/Remove Programs" icon. When that opens, find the listing for the new programs that were installed, highlight them by clicking once on them, then click on the "Add/Remove" button. Follow the prompts to uninstall the program. See if that helps the situation.

If you still want a photo program, try one at a time.

Hope this helps.
