Oly Master 2 - problems

[rigel]

I've been using Olympus Master 2 to import my photos and do a little editing since I got my E-510 in June.

I just recently came back from a trip to the beach, and started experiencing problems with the software. It started when I tried opening an imported jpg (from the camera) using the "folder" option in the file browser, instead of the default "albums." Whenever I clicked on that particular folder (labeled by date; Oct. 16th), the program would just exit. I tried this several times, trying to open other folders (e.g. the 15th and the 17th) and didn't experience the same thing.

Trying to resize and crop some photos (the same set from the same trip) also resulted in the program just exiting without warning :mad2:

Fortunately, I can still transfer my photos from the E-510 to the laptop, but it's frustrating that I can't do much else. Since I can't afford to pay for editing software as of now, I've resorted to using freeware for the time being (irfanview, Gimp - w/c I'm finding difficult to use -- etc), but am finding they aren't as easy to use as Oly Master 2 (or even MS Office Pic Mgr on my other laptop).

What's up with Oly Master 2??? Does anyone have the same problem as me? Is there a fix for this?

I've attached one of my photos from that trip (pardon the blown out sand; newbie here :blush2: . Or is it just the E-510's poor dynamic range? I wish! )
