Arnie, i tried that and it is easy to use-just takes a bit of getting-used to!

ps THERE WAS A MANUAL???? lol!

All very helpful Charley, but I can't afford those expensive programs just now. Any others you can suggest for us poor beginners?

Thank you Arnie, you answered my above question

Have downloaded both The Gimp and The User Manual. I promise I will read the manual!!

i skipped the part about the manual that arnie wrote, so i just messed around trying to make it work! lol

Thank you I come back here I got my Coral paint shop pro from a computer fair and its brillent.

I use Corel Photo Paint. I have had fun playing around with the seeds to make some a bit more colorful.

I have GIMP, but I cant find the files- I only own VV2.

Rachie, open My computer, double click on Local Disk (c), then open Program Files, then open Virtual Villager The Lost Children then Images. All of the images are there. I would create a backup folder and then copy all of the images into it. That way if you ever want to revert back you'll have them there.

There arent any Virtual Villagers files there

Where did you buy the game? Some retail versions are packaged in such a way that the images aren't accessible.
