I have just got an external hard drive & wanted to download photosuite 3 onto it instead of using it on my computer C drive, I managed to download it OK & the programme opened fine once then didnt open again. I then decided to put it back onto my C drive but cant find how to change the destination for it to install so now it keeps wanting to re install onto the external drive. Please help!

You will have to manually move your old files onto the hard drive, and manually save any new files there. It's really pretty easy.
Open up My Computer and you should see at least two drives; one will be your old one and another one will be the new drive; open your old drive in one window, then the new one in another window (just open My Computer again and select the newer drive). You can then move files from one to the other my dragging while holding down the right mouse button; after you let go it will ask you whether you want to Copy or Move; select Move.
When you save new work, if you want it to save to the new hard drive just tell it to.
One thing to note though is that unless you've got lots of media files, most of what is filling up your hard drive is probably application software (i.e. the stuff that's filling up your Start menu). For any new applications you install, just make sure that you tell it to install to a directory on your new drive (for instance, if they normally install to C:\Program FIles\[Something], tell it to install to D:\Program Files\[Something], or replace D:\ with the letter of your new drive if it's something else). It is a little bit harder to move existing applications to the new drive, because some settings may not get carried over automatically. You can try to just copy the program files from one drive to the other tho, it should work in most cases. If it doesn't, consider backing up your settings for that program, uninstalling, and then reinstalling in a location on the new drive.
Hope that helps. Let us know if you have follow-up questions.
SOURCE: i/o Magic 320gb external hard drive--how do i open it?
on the back where you plug things in, there is a silver piece of metal. you need to pry that open with something. i used a tweezer and put it into the edge of the usb port to pry open the silver metal. the silver metal is just stuck onto the black plastic. once you get that metal off, there are two screws. unscrew those and you should be able to get in!
SOURCE: Will mgi photosuite 8.1 work with windows 7
You may try installing it in windows 7 and check. If you are unable to install
it then I suggest you to install it in windows XP compatibility mode and check.
First create a restore point before trying this step.
SOURCE: mgi photosuite version 4.0 and
I am by no means a computer expert. somehow I got my mgi to download, by going in and changing what read the cd. I did not install using windows media. somehow I overrode that. BUT...even tho it is installed and working...I get error messages for certain functions. You can hit "continue" 4 times and then it works. Someone told me this would hurt my computer. Any insight?????
