Microsoft Office Picture Manager - Problem saving cropped images

[MarlboroughT&C]

I have just got a new laptop with windows vista. I have put office 2003 on
it, which seems to be working fine. However when I crop a .jpg image and try
and save it, it a) saves a different crop to what I have done, and b) saves
it as what looks like a negative image. It's driving me mad - can anyone help?

Use a different editing program. Paint will work. This is free: www.getpaint.net
or www.irfanview.com with the plug-ins.

Thanks for that, have worked out how to crop it in photo gallery.

Any idea how to solve the problem in Picture manager though?

Same issue, MS Office Picture Manager 2010 running on MS XP Media Ed trying to crop and save a .tif. Everything is fine, but then when I save file as a new name to a .tif (can't change the format, it does not allow) the image is cropped further and colors are inverted, giving it similar qualities as a negative. (Black & white are inverted... white trucks are now black).

While suggesting using one of the various other programs will get around the issue for the moment, it does not actually help.

Does anyone have any idea of why this is happening or better yet, how we can avoid/fix this issue to begin with?
