Yep, I mean the Codec. Is that different from Fast Picture Viewer which I can't find on my pc to uninstall and reinstall.

I have the files that someone sent to me. I tried to attach them here, but wasn't successful. If you can't get the files from the internet, I will try to get them to you.
I haven't used Fast Picture Viewer, so don't know how it compares. Let me know how I can help you.
Thanks Sepiana.

That's what I was thinking, without trying to get too technical! |

Sepiana, I tried downloading the Microsoft Codex from your links, but it will not download to Windows10. Interestingly enough, I did find a Windows Codex in my apps, but it doesn't seem to work. ...so back to FastPicture, which I did have, but can't find the serial number for, so I've contacted their website for help. I suppose I could buy another FP Codex pac, but it's the principle of the thing..........and the Cdn dollar is so friggin low against the US$ these days........

srmoment -
Download the free Belarc Advisor, and it will give you the serial number for any program on your computer.

Major Major, I downloaded the Belarc Advisor for Windows10 and WOW, it showed up a ton of stuff!!! However, not the program I was looking for, or interestingly enough, some other things such as my Perfect Effects. I might just have to bite the bullet and purchase the codex again; ....I will wait to see if I hear back from them first.

. . . so back to FastPicture, which I did have, but can't find the serial number for, so I've contacted their website for help. I suppose I could buy another FP Codex pac, but it's the principle of the thing..........and the Cdn dollar is so friggin low against the US$ these days........ Pat,
Did you by any chance save the email they sent you when you purchased FastPictureViewer? The one with the download link? It should list your order number; this number functions as the serial number for this Codec.

Sepiana, one thing I've learned is to make a copy of that email and save it to the same file where the software exe file resides. I learned the hard way that paper files can get lost.

I use Evernote to store all that info. OneNote would work well also.

I have my original email from Paypal and there was a reference number on it, so I decided to try downloading the Codex and using that number. The software downloaded just fine and I was not asked for a serial number which was totally weird. Now everything is working again.
However, I now have a new Windows10 problem related to the keyboard. I have a gaming computer (haha...not that I'm a gamer) and I had deactivated the scrolling pad (or whatever it's called) because my cursor kept skipping all over the place when I typed. Now my scrolling pad has reactivated itself so I have to walk back through the sands of time to find out which particular sand deactivates it! [sigh]. ....and in photoshop I have to use the cursor to scroll through modes (i.e. Multiply, Screen, Luminosity....) whereas before I could use my mouse.
Aside from all that, I am really liking the look and feel of the new Windows.

Well, my upgrade finally came up and I bit the bullet. Everything with the upgrade went smoothly. The only Issue I have was I received a low memory warning, once while updating Creative clod, "ooops, cloud," the screen went black. And two when trying to view a video on youtube. I have 12g of ram and 2 gig video ram.
I didn't think I'd like the new look but it's slowly growing on me. I don't however like how they change the new app. preferred scrolling to the right, more natural. I hope they make available on disc as to restore my pc I have to go from 7 to 10, "YIKES."

I have been getting the "Upgrade to Windows 10" window on my Windows 7 computer for several weeks now. This morning I took the plunge and clicked on Upgrade.
I was pleasantly surprised how smoothly and quickly it all went.
After reading above some one had printing problems I tried mine and it worked fine.
Now I just have to learn all the new items in 10.....
