Photodraw - I lost my "save as" JPG

[Ray Elias]

I've been looking all over for help for this, but no luck. Hopefully someone
here can lend some advice.

I LOVE Photodraw, and am rather disappointed MS abandoned it.

For some reason, about a week ago, I lost the ability to "save as" a jpg
file in Photodraw!?!? I uninstalled and reinstalled, thinking that might
work, to no avail.

I really hate to go out and spend hundreds of dollars on a new program,
especially when Photodraw does EVERYTHING I need.

Can anyone offer any suggestions on how to get my "save as" jpg back? (I
can still save as other file types, just not jpg, for some reason). I also
attempted to open my MIX files in PictureIt 9 (to save as there), but it
won't open those MIX files for some reason.

Any suggestions are GREATLY appreciated!

Delete your Temporary Internet Files. Don't know why this works, but it does.

It happened to me. I have NOT been able to find a stable fix. If you have,
please post.

Here's a TEMPORARY fix...

Download and save to your hard drive "Microsoft Office Converter Pack" (from
the MS Website).

If you already have it installed, uninstall first, then reinstall.

This seems to work for a while. After a short while (I have not been able
to figure out why or when), you'll lose the ability to save as jpg. When
this happens, uninstall the Microsoft Office Converter Pack and re-install.
(That's why you need to save it to your hard drive).

Hope this helps someone.

This happened to me and I could never figure it out. My work-a-round
was to show the image full screen, copy screen, and paste it into
thumbsplus, and save it as a .jpg. I reinstalled PhotoDraw and
sometimes it would come back. Now I can't get PhotoDraw to install on
my new laptop so I am searching for ways to do so, or edit all my old
..mix files!
