Not quite as painless for some as I found, then? Google help for Picasa no use? Forums?

Here's something to watch out for if you're using the new Web Albums feature in Picasa. According to gSpy: "Without any CAPTCHA or spam prevention algorithms, spammers are taking advantage of the flaw in its album sharing feature to send out spam emails."

Thanks for the info fern. I’ll uninstall all previous versions, clean up my registry, check those settings, and give it another go. I’d love to get it working properly.

Hi there,

Do you know what your system country and locale is set to in your regional settings? Picasa 2.2 was supported in 30ish countries but 2.6 was only supported in 18 languages. This might be causing you to download 2.2. Also, build 36.37 is the latest released version, there are some reports that the build version stays as 2.6 but you in fact get 36.37.
thx
