2 Chapter 1: Installation
Completing the Installation Wizard

The Installation Wizard will show you a series of dialog boxes that provide
setup status and some installation preference options. For most users, the
default preferences will be appropriate. Information about the different setup
options is provided below.
Installation Folder Dialog Box

The Installation Folder dialog box allows you to choose where the program will
be installed on your computer. To install the program to a folder other than the
folder in the Installation folder box, do one of the following:
• Type a different path in the Installation folder box.
• Click Change, select a folder in the Change Installation Folder dialog
box, and then click OK.
Note that some files will be installed to the Program Files drive even if you
choose to install the program to a different drive.
Installation Options Dialog Box

The Installation Options dialog box allows you to choose between Typical
installation and Full installation.
• Typical installation takes up less space on your hard drive, and is recom-
mended for most users. With Typical installation, you will have to insert
the Picture It! CD in your CD-ROM drive to use some of the projects and
clip art while you are using the program.
• Full installation copies all of the Picture It! projects and clip art to your
hard drive, so you will not have to reinsert a Picture It! CD while you are
using the program. Look under Description for the disk space required
for this option.

Special Circumstances
Upgrading from a Different Picture It! Product
If you already have a Picture It! product installed on your machine, any of
several scenarios may occur when you try to install another Picture It! product:
• Previous versions If you have a Picture It! product previous to version 10
already installed, installing a version 10 product will make both programs
available on your computer.
• Upgrade from another version 10 product You can install a Picture
It! version 10 product that has more features than a version 10 product
already installed. The version of Picture It! with fewer features will
be uninstalled automatically before the new installation begins. Your
pictures and projects will not be deleted.
• Blocked downgrade If you have a Picture It! version 10 product
installed, you will not be able to automatically install a version 10 product
with fewer features. To install the version with fewer features, you must
first uninstall the version with more features.
Reinstalling or Removing Picture It!

If you are having problems running Picture It!, reinstalling the program may
help it to run better on your computer.
MSN Photos Plus is made of two separate programs: the image editor and the
Library. These programs must be reinstalled or removed separately.
You should not attempt to remove Picture It! by deleting the program files
from your hard disk. Instead, use the Picture It! Installation Wizard to properly
uninstall the program.
To remove or reinstall Picture It! on Windows XP:

1. Log on to the computer as an administrator.
2. From the Windows Start menu, click Control Panel.
3. Click Add or remove programs.
4. From the list of installed programs, click the version of Picture It! you
want to remove or reinstall. Picture It! and Picture It! Library will be
listed as separate programs and must be removed separately.
5. Click Change/Remove.
The Installation Wizard opens.
6. Follow the instructions on the screen.
