| 102721 | 2002-12-02 10:10:00 | I installed Master clips and Art Explosions (Graphic packages) and Windows shut down. These programs worked fine on Windows ME but I did not have the same luck with XP. I use heaps of clipart so these 2 packages are valuable to me. They both consist of a viewer and the clipart or photos. What can I do to install them without Windows XP shutting down. Costs me heaps of money toi get the computer going again because it won't even go into safe mode. Can anyone help? Regards Veonica |

If not compatible, are the images in a proprietary form (.jpg, .wmf etc) as if so any viewer could open them. |

| 102723 | 2002-12-02 22:13:00 | All you have to do is locate your cliparts files and use something like ACDSee to browse your cliparts :D | SKT174 (1319) | ||
| 102724 | 2002-12-03 02:32:00 | Veronica, I don't have Art Explosion installed on my computer but I can access all the graphics from the CDs in MS Word by clicking on Insert, Picture, From File and using the down arrow on the keyboard to scroll through the images. Hope that helps. As others have said you can also see them on the CDs working directly in Explorer. |

| 102725 | 2002-12-03 06:39:00 | Hi. After GF's first advice to check if the programmes are XP campatible, It would be helpful to know what the file type /extension is for their clipart images. This would help to find out what other viewers could be capable of seeing them - viewers that are compatible with your XP. Another solution, is to use a decent (even free!) image viewer that can batch-convert all the images from one type into another, that is readable from any proprietory viewer. Again, let us know what their extensions are - eg picturename.jpg and picturename.gif |
