Oftentimes after installing a new version of Picasa, users may experience Picasa errors. If user tried to install the new version of Picasa 2 and everything went fine during  installation but when Picasa 2 attempts to load the user receives one of two Picasa errors: “error starting program. The PicasaMediadetector.exe file is linked to a missing export Kernel32.dll:movefilewith progress.” Most likely user will attempt to uninstall and reinstall a few times and the same Picasa error may appear. Many users who are running Windows 98 may experience this same Picasa error alert message. As it turns out, Picasa 2.5 build 32.94 is not compatible with Windows 98. The latest version of Picasa is compatible only with Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP. If user is running Windows 98 or Windows ME, Picasa errors will continue. Picasa also offers for these situations, a version of Picasa that is compatible with users operating system but will not receive any updates or new features. This can be found byGooggling Picasa  2.

If you are receiving Picasa errors and are already using a version of Picasa 2, user will want to uninstall Picasa 2 before re-installing the version for Windows 98 and Windows ME. To uninstall Picasa, go to ‘start’ then select ‘all programs’ then select ‘Picasa 2’ then select ‘uninstall’.  During the uninstall process, user will be asked if they want to delete the Picasa database. Select ‘no’ to save users database of photo edits. After uninstalling Picasa 2 user may download Picasa for Windows 98 and Picasa for Windows ME from Google.

Another type of Picasa error occurs when downloading pictures from a digital camera. User plugged in digital camera Canon Powershot A540, to download recent images and Google Picasa loaded ready to import. A Picasa error appeared on the screen ‘an error has occurred during importing. Either the source is unavailable or the destination is full or read only’. If you experience this problem, the problem is not with your digital camera. The Picasa error may be that user does not have a My Pictures folder in documents. The simplest way to fix this Picasa error is to go to ‘my computer’ right click your camera and from the drop down menu choose ‘get pictures’. The XP scanner and camera wizard will pop up and fix everything if you follow it through. If you want to fix the original Picasa error you probably try to move your default My Pictures location.
