Marilyng Loc: Lorain,Oh.

I am having some issues with this software.When I go to my folder & try to drop my photos into ice it says error unable to stitch photos,make sure they are in same folder.I went to the forum that supports this software for some help.I guess others have had this issue as well & they tell you that if you place a folder with the photos you want stitched on your external hard drive it works better.I put my folder on my external hard drive opened up ice,selected all my photos & tried to drop them in ice but got the same error message.Does anyone here use this program for panorama photos & could tell me what I am doing wrong? I posted this question on their forum but didn't get any answer!

Is it possible to go the other way around, that is: Open ICE, then use the menu line (something like File -> Open) to navigate to the photos you want to use?

(I have never used ICE, and don't even know what it would look like on my computer screen, so I may be completely barking up the wrong tree here).

Marilyn, I Googles "Microsoft Ice" just now, and one thing I noticed right away on this site:

There is a version for 64-bit and a version for 32-bit. At the risk of getting my wrist slapped... you do have the correct version for your system, right?

Yes, I have 64- bit as that is my system.I have tried every way opening ice first then my photos & still no luck.Thanks for your reply.

"... Moving the images to a smaller disk (500 GB) and selecting them for stitching from that location solved the problem. ..."

I use ICE a lot & have never had this problem. I have a few ideas & will send you a PM. Earl.
