From: Sandra on 27 Dec 2005 10:07 I got this very old prg with my first scanner and was able to install and run it on all the OS I since then used (W95, W98 and Me), but unable to make it work on XP Home Ed. Since I really love the prg. I would highly appreciate if anybody could help me to install it on XP-Home Ed. I saw that XP has an option to try making older proggies running on XP, and tried this, but with no result. I have a newer version of the Prg (also got it with a newer scanner), but it is rubbish, not worth to look at it, compared with the old version. Please forgive if this is OT. I think it is freeware, but I don't know if it suits into the categories discussed here... Thanks in advance, Sandra

I have it (came with my scanner) and I remember getting it to work in Windows XP Professional. I don't think it is freeware, though. -- Thanks, Renan(tm) - Canoas, RS, Brazil.

I have a couple of those myself. By the way, apparently that program has been given away, but you had to fill out a survey at the site I saw. Rather than using that old program, why don't you take a look at this site: http://www.webattack.com/freeware/categories/6/ and see if you can find something better? -- Regards from John Corliss I don't reply to trolls and other such idiots.

Here http://rapidshare.de/files/9966571/mgi_1.06.rar.html is a copy of MGI PhotoSuite SE V. 1.06. It works just fine on my XP Home box. There is an ISO image inside the rar file. Just extract the ISO from the rar and burn it.
