Hello -
For a long time I was a happy user of Picasa (first version 2, then 3) on my HP laptop running on Windows XP. Then one day when I clicked on the icon, it refused to open. Hmm. I kept trying, went to the origin file in the Programs folder and clicked on the .exe file, still nada.

Eventually I decided it had gotten corrupted somehow so I uninstalled it using the windows uninstall feature and then reinstalled it.

Twice, actually.

Still no action.

I'm really sad and bewildered. I went to Google for help and got nowhere. Hoping you wonderful people may have a clue what has gone screwy here.

Thanks!

Have you tried to temporarily disable your firewall before starting Picasa? Some applications refuse to start up if they are being blocked by a firewall.

If the firewall is not giving you this problem, try removing the Picasa folder from the Application Data folder. Make sure you that you have fully uninstalled Picasa before removing the Picasa folder.

This hidden Picasa folder can be found in "C:\Documents and Settings\<Your Windows XP user name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Google". Cut this Picasa folder from the Google folder and paste it onto your desktop. Then restart your computer and install the latest version of Picasa. I hope that these steps would solve your problem.

I stopped using Mac computers years ago because I often felt like a second-class citizen. New or upgraded programs came out for PCs but Apple computer users often had to wait…and wait…and wait. So it’s with gladness that I can now say better late than never that Picasa for Mac, the free photo editor and organizer by Google, has recently been released. I’ve been using it for some time on my PC, though I still use Photoshop for more serious editing.
Unfortunately, the program is only supported for Intel based Macs, and won’t work on others even if you have the latest operating system. But if you can use it, Picasa is a great, simple to use image organizing and editing program that will delight those who otherwise shy away from photo editing.
I’ve recommended Picasa to hundreds of people and am glad that I can finally recommend it to many of my Mac friends, too.
