This article was previously published under Q160975 SYMPTOMS
If you try to import a Kodak Photo-CD (.pcd) file into Photo Editor, and
use the Options button in the Open dialog box to change the size and/or
color depth of the image, you may receive one of the following error
messages:
Could not read file
This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut
down. If the problem persists, contact the program vendor.
If you click the Details button, you see the following additional
information:
PHOTOED caused an Invalid Page Fault in module PHOTOED.EXE at
<address>.
If you don't receive an error message, the imported image may be cropped,
or you may see multiple copies of the image.
CAUSE
This problem occurs if you click the Preview button in the Open dialog box
before you click the Options button to change the resolution.
If you don't click the Preview button, the image imports correctly.
RESOLUTION
If you want to control the resolution and color depth a .pcd of a file
when you import it into Photo Editor, do not use the Preview button to
see what the image looks like. Use the Options button instead. When you
click the Options button, the Photo CD dialog box appears. This dialog
box provides a thumbnail image of the .pcd file.
If you really want to use the Preview button, you can do the following:
- In Photo Editor, click Open on the File menu.
- Open the folder that contains the .pcd file you wish to import.
- Click the Preview button to see what the .pcd file looks like.
- Click the Close button to close the Preview dialog box.
- Click the name of a different .pcd file.
- Click the name of the .pcd file you actually want to import.
- Click the Options button.
- In the Photo CD dialog box, choose the resolution, color depth, and
orientation that you want to use. Click the OK button.
- Click Open.
STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
