I've lost the CD Key for my photodraw! Had to replace hard drive . I've tons of .MIX files and now can install Photodraw! Help??? How can I get it installed without the old CD key!?
Best photo software ever! Still in production every day. Features which are missing of competitors. The only major drawback is the limited image size.
Raimo Nuutinen, You don't happen to have the set of MS that came in a yellow small notebook, had all office and PhotoDraw in it. I borrowed a friends, it was awesome
I use it every day, invaluable to greatly enhancing quality and readability of scans & photos while drastically reducing file size. Love it!
