Mike:
Google Picasa supposedly will still install and work in Windows 7.
However, certain features of it supposedly will no longer work.
Let us know how it turned out for you.
I don't know what your problem with MajorGeeks is, but MisterEd's link worked perfectly fine for me (other than the download actually being build 141.255 instead of the advertised 141.303), so perhaps there's some problem with your browser or add-ons. I tested the MajorGeeks download, and it installed on Win7 and appears to be identical to the build 141.259 installer I have in my own private archive library.
If your argument is instead with the way that particular Picasa version functions compared to whatever version you're used to, then note you can still get other versions at oldversion.com. www.oldversion.com (Ignore their indexing, which incorrectly identifies the "latest version", but you can figure it out.)
So your reply said, "I don't know what your problem with MajorGeeks is, but MisterEd's link worked perfectly fine for me (other than the download actually being build 141.255 instead of the advertised 141.303), so perhaps there's some problem with your browser or add-ons."
I appreciate your Reply and Mr. Ed's and any other Forum Members that choose to.
The Picasa Archive PC I am trying to assemble has nothing on it but Windows-7 Pro, all the Simplix Updates for Windows-7 and the most current Microsoft Edge Browser. When I searched for Picasa Downloads on this new PC, I was presented with the MajorGeeks offering. I chose it and was presented with a mindboggling array of Green Rectangles stating DOWNLOAD. I tried them and soon realized they were DOWNLOADS for anything and everything that MajorGeeks wanted to push at the time. That's when I tried other sites offering PICASA DOWNLOADS which when executed stated that they had "ceased" providing PICASA but attempted to "sell" another product. Here is the MajorGeek sequence I was presented with this morning on the new PC. CAPTURES: 01,02,03.
I then went to my old "severely hacked" PC and search for PICASA DOWNLOADS and was presented with a completely different offering from MajorGeeks. CAPTURES: 04, 05
Quite a difference and NOT actually what MajorGeeks originally presented. Their original offering was page after page of DOANLOAD green rectangles none of which were associated with anything. By clicking on any of them the User, me was presented with a DOWNLOAD for a "associated" product having little or nothing to do with PICASA. Literally the bottom line: I DOWNLOADED what MajorGeeks offered as the PICASA Download. perhaps what Mr. Ed found and reported on, putting it on a Thumb Drive. I took the Thumb Drive to the New PC and installed what MajorGeeks offered. Unfortunately, the DOWNLOADED Picasa from MajorGeeks opened but does not function properly. It's there, but it does NOT allow the USER, me, to import Photos or Videos from any source. USB Sticks, USB attached Drives, USB attached Docks whit USB drives in the Dock. Zero, Nada, nice try but no cigar. Why would MajorGeeks use what "appears" to be a vulgar Tag Line like: "the bunny gets it" in their Ad? Again, I Googled the The Tag Line and read what was reported back. FILTH! Enough said so far, I'll let my Post percolate a week or so and if there isn't a solution, I'll assume Picasa has gone the way of Windows-7, and Edge. Then I'll try the sites that offer to sell Picasa to see what they actually provide. Lastly, if any Forum Member can instruct me on how to transfer the Picasa Application and Photos from our OLD PC to the NEW ONE, I'd appreciate it. Thanks again for the Feedback. We sincerely appreciate your efforts.
