This tutorial assumes that IrfanView is installed on your computer.

Find the image that’s too big for Picasa to print or crop, then right-click it and press “Locate on disk”

A windows explorer window will appear with the photo selected. Right-click on the photo and click “Open With > IrfanView”.

If IrfanView isn’t available, click “Choose Program” and then find “IrfanView” in the list and click “Ok”

In IrfanView, click “Image > Resize / Resample”

Of “Width” and “Height”, set the higher one to a value not higher than 6000. Click “Ok”

IrfanView may take a while to resample.

When it’s finished, click “File Save”, “Save” and “Yes” to replace the old version.

Close IrfanView, and return to Picasa where you can now print and crop the photo.

Uninstalling and reinstalling didn’t fix the problem so I hit a certain search engine that I like to use to find a solution. Fortunately, somebody else had experienced the problem previously and it had been solved. Here’s the solution…

Fixing The Problem

Start the system in “Safe Mode” by tapping “F8″ key while the computer is starting, before the “Loading Windows” screen is shown. Select “Safe Mode” and press enter.

Once in safe mode, follow these steps:

Windows XP

1. Click “Start > (Settings) > Control Panel”
2. Double-click “System”
3. Click “Hardware > Device Manager”
4. Find “Display Adapters >LogMeIn Mirror” then Right-Click and click “Uninstall”

Windows Vista

1. Click “Start > Control Panel”
2. Double-click “Device Manager”
3. Find “Display Adapters >LogMeIn Mirror” then Right-Click and click “Uninstall”

You may then need to reinstall your display drivers. Download the latest drivers from your display adapter’s manufacturer website.

Problem solved.
