I sure came to the right place. Thanks to all of you. Each reply was different, but either would have probably worked.I did the easiest thing for me and that was to pull the plugs on the printer and scanner, reboot and uninstall the software, even after a stern warning that I would be doing irreversible damage. Then I turned the computer back on and tried the scanner and printer. Both work fine, so far. I may have done damage that has not shown up yet. If I have a problem I may try the system restore feature. I had forgotten I even had that. Have had this computer for about 3 years and never tried the system restore.Thanks again!! Ida

Thanks for the response. Nothing is checked and everytime I try to check anything it will not stay checked. This program is totally messed up for some reason. Gallery will not work at all. I deleted all of my pictures and reloaded the 2 memory cards I have. They did load pretty much in the order I took them but some still I have to look for. At least it didn't sort them the way "it" wants too. BUT Now I can't plug the camera in to load pics, it will only let me load by putting the memory card in the tower. It was always so easy to just plug it in before. Now that feature is messed up too. Another thing, it use to show pictures full screen and now it only shows them about 90% of the screen. I can enlarge to full screen but it has to be done on each pic I look at. Before they all were full screen without doing anything. Soooo frustrating! I don't know what happened to make this program work so bad. No kids or anybody messes with this computer but me. Thanks for your help. Nancy

I use Microsoft Digital Image Suite 2006 - I am trying to learn Adobe Elements 5.0, but Digital Image Suite is SO much easier, and does just about everything that Photoshop Elements does. Microsoft is no longer making the program, but you can still find it. It is really easy to find on eBay, and inexpensive also - I have seen it for $35 or less. There are also free ones out there like Irfanview and others....but I find that Digital Image Suite (DIS) offers a little more than those. DIS has tutorial videos built into the program - those really help. And there are a few sites that have great tutorials available.

Yes, the .doc extension is a standard Microsoft Word file extension, although the new format uses .docx. When you're using LibreOffice though, by default it will save to its own format as .odt. To change so that it always saves to a Microsoft format (for working with others), go to : Tools>Options>Load/Save>General>Document type .. Always save as or Preferences... -> load/save-> general -> always save as -> choose Saving Documents by Default in Microsoft Office Formats
