Please help us to help you. What does "I am unable to access it"
mean? What happens when you try? If you get an error message,
please quote it verbatim.



What camera do you have? You shouldn't need to use any special
software to do this.

Janna,

I find it easiest to pre-create folders in Olympus Camedia, like Indiana-Family or Ohio-Family. I then go into Windows Exploer, click on the camedia folderof originals, and either copy the entire folder of your pictures to the appropriate Camedia folder, or each picture one-by-one. Close, and re-open Camedia and choose the folder wanted, and all pictures in that folder should display. You then have the options of opening the individual picture, resizing (my optimum is 780x640 pixels for a horizontal picture, and 640x480 pixels for a vertical picture). you can do Instant Fix to adjust poor-lighting or over-lighting. Last step is to save the manipulated picture, and it is ready then for your screen-saver or background-picture. To use as a desktop-picture, click (BUT DON'T OPEN) the picture, then click on Wallpaper, and the picture now is your desktop-wallpaper.

thank you for answering a 2 year old thread, if you would be kind enough to pay attention next time and not respond to such old threads that would be great.
