Vista Photo Dowload with Adobe Elements and Picasa

G

Guest

I just bought an Acer Aspire 9410 laptop with a dual-core processor and 2 GB
memory and Windows Vista installed.

I attach my Canon 30D as usual and PSE5 shows the camera but states "No
Valid Files" under the box.

I then took some quick RAW and a JPG photos and it Downloaded the JPG in
seconds but ignored the RAW file.

I then moved the Files (RAW & JPG) to a desktop folder and PSE5 recognized
all of them and uploaded them into the PSE5 program.


I then tried a DVD with 200+ RAW files from a shoot and PSE5 again uploaded
them from the disk with no problem. I can view the thumbnails and the photos
in the organizer as usual.

I then went to my desktop and uploaded the photos from the camera directly
into PSE5. The desktop is running Windows XP so I am led to believe that this
is a PSE5/Vista compatibility problem.

Now an additional problem is that the .CR2 files that have been uploaded
from the disk and into PSE5 have problems opening.

When I try to open the .CR2 files into the editor, I get a message that
states "Camera Raw requires a minimum display resolution of 1024 pixels wide
and 768 pixels high. Your display is set to a lower resolution. Continue
anyway?" My resolution is set to 1440 X 900. I have also tried all of the
other resolutions offered and still get the same message.

I have updated both Vista and PSE5 with the latest updates and I have
installed the most recent ACR plugin.

As a check, I also tried to upload to Picasa2 and all it did was recognize
the camera but never download. Again this seems to be a Vista compatiblity
problem.

I guess I am hoping that someone is going to tellme of a check box or
something that will fix this.

Thanks for any help on this
