Windows XP And Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000 JPEG Problems

I am running Microsoft XP Pro on my Computer with which has Microsoft Office XP installed.

I kept the Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000 Program on my Computer, since it performed all of the functions for my Epson 850Z Digital Camera's and other the Picture Files that I needed.

I have the Adobe PhotoShop 6 Program, but I did not need all of its advanced functions.

The Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000 served all of my Graphic And Digital Picture needs.

When I recently upgraded my Epson 850Z Digital Camera's Image Expert Software, the Micrsoft PhotoDraw 2000 Program no longer has the "JPEG" File Type under the File Save Options anymore.

I can still view "JPEG" Files, but I cannot perform a "File Save As" under the "JPEG" File Format anymore.

The problem is that I like to compress the Pictures from my Epson 850Z Digtial Camera, and I use the Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000 Program's File Compression Ratio to perfrom this task.

I also perform simple Photo Editing with the Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000 Program.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000 Program several times, and it still does not give me the "JPEG" File Format under the "File Save As" Command Line anymore.

I have read on the Internet that the Microsoft PhotoDraw "JPEG" File Format problem has occcured with other people after they have installed some Graphics or Image Software on their Computers.

I know that Microsoft has discontinued the Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000 Program, but it is easy to use and it performs its tasks well.

Does any know how I can get back the "JPEG" File Format under the "File Save As" Command, or at least a good Software Program replacement for the Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000 Program.

Does Microsoft Picture It 2001 or 2002 perfrom the same Program Functions as the Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000 Program did?

I would really like to keep using the Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000 Program.

Just to check it out, I installed PhotoDraw 2000 on my XP Pro system, and scanned a pic from my scanner, and then saved to JPEG from PhotoDraw 2000. Full functionality was avaliable. I dont know what has happened to your setup but its possibly the manner which you upgraded to XP, or the upgraded Digital Camera software you installed. Have you done all the WinXP updates? I know there is one for software compatibility. Also when you use the save as menu in PhotoDraw, make sure JPEG isnt just further down the drop down menu and you just need to use the scroll bar to get down to it.
 
1. I lost the Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000 "File Save As" a "JPEG" File Format Menu Item after I installed the Epson 850Z Digital Camera "Image Expert" Software.

I need the "Image Expert" Software, since it is the best Software for the Epson 850Z Digital Camera.

2. I had installed Windows XP Pro as a clean install on a new IDE Disk Drive, after it had asked me for the CD-ROM containing one of the valid Microsoft Windows Operating Systems.

3. My Windows XP Pro System is totally updated.

4. I can assure that all of the Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000 Menu Items Choices have been checked out, and there is no "JPEG" File Format Menu Item anymore when there was one before I had installed the "Image Expert" Software.
