I don't know anything about Picassa but I am assuming it is this type of program. These programs likely have simple imaging editing features as well. There are a number of this type of program. To me it sounds as if Helen now has two programs to automatically download programs. I would just delete the one you don't want, reinstall the one you want, and see what happens. You probably could do fine without either of these by trying the approach below. Reboot the computer between the installs and uninstalls. Rather than using the type of programs above which may or may not organize the pictures the way one wants, one can choose to use simply put the card in the reader, go to Windows Explorer, navigate to the drive letter of the card, click select all, then copy, and copy their pictures from the card to the "My Pictures' subfolder of "My Documents". I tend to initially put mine in a folder for the year and month like "2006 Feb". If the pictures are routine, general snapshots I may leave them there, or I can make a more descriptive folder and move them there. Then to print the pictures and edit them I use Microsoft Picture It since it is quick and easy. But there are many good programs including a free one called Irfanview. These come in all degrees of complexity and cost up to the most well known Adobe Photo Shop. There are so many ways to do the same task, that it makes it almost more confusing than if there were only one way. Generally the brand of camera makes no difference except that they use different types of media. The general process is the same. Just like we all do with our genealogy databases (hopefully) everyone should remember to back up their pictures occasionally so that if the hard drive should fail, they will not lose their photos. An external hard drive is good for doing this type of backup.
