Dennis, if I can do this safely without you showing up at my doorstep hard drive in hand is there a way?  I have had enough of Microsoft.  I've decided that I hate it so much that I want nothing to do with it.  What is a Virtual Box and can I buy one at Best Buy?  New Faithful is new and has loads of memory.

I got pissed off when I couldn't install Microsoft Office Picture Manager after I did the system restore after the bad virus.  I need to have Microsoft Office installed.  I can get it for free for a year but after a year they will want money >:( 

Or perhaps I should figure out how to use Photo Bucket.  I've tried a few times but although the rest of the world can do it, I'm too damn stupid.  Sometimes I hate myself >:(
Always move forward. Never look back.

Liz, Virtual Box is software that allows you to basically run a system within a system.  Here's the link with more info.....

https://www.virtualbox.org/

You could just as easily run Windows XP with Virtual Box.  It may be something you want to talk over with your computer guy when he comes to visit.

My computer guy is too busy to bother with me now,  He has a great new job that challenges him and he's getting married this month.

Muggers, I was able to open the pic in virtual box but I was not able to crop, correct and resize.  I'm sure it was my fault.  I will try again tomorrow.  Virtual Box was very very slow on New Faithful.  I'm thinking now that Microsoft has me in it's clutches.  I can get office free for a year and download the easy photo software that is fast and easy.  After a year I'll have to pay for something that IMO should be free.  It used to be free but the damn money grubbers now want me to pay.  (sorry, I'm frustrated)

All I wanted to do was post a pic of my HB juvies attacking the cube of Dan's freeze dried blackworms  that I stuck to the front of their tank.
Always move forward. Never look back.

Liz....Slickpic doesn't need virtualbox....just go to the site....download a few pics to your album, and then simply right click for 'pic' location,copy, and post as an 'img' here.....
