But for now PSP 9 does not work smoothly in Windows 7. Indeedy the Organizing thing in the Corel versions is one of the main reasons why I'm back using PSP 9. Couple of points to make. On my machine, PSP 9.01 is not installed in the usual place (Program Files) but in a Dir in which I install apps that are not system or MS stuff. Installing an app elsewhere, is neither here nor there, as when the application is installed its directory path location will be auto-written to the registry. The niggles with PSP 9 and Win 7 are so trivial, at this point I can only remember one, and that is, you need to set the printer default you require in Windows, as you *can't* set it from the PSP print dialogue window. My guess is, something in the registry had got itsef in a tangle, as things do. If it was me... But of course it is your choice. ;-) I'd do a complete uninstall, using the ZapJasc.exe removal application, to Uninstall and clean out the registry. (If you want to have a go at that and can't find it, I can send you a copy). Thereafter do a clean install. Dave -- Dave Triffid

You could of course try running it in "Compatibility mode for Win XP" Find the Paint Shop Pro 9.exe (Can also be done via a Shortcut). Right hand mouse button... Down to Properties. Compatibility Tab. Tick "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" Select from the dropdown arrow. Win XP (Service pack 3) Apply and OK it. Dave -- Dave Triffid

I don't have the skills to do those things myself and will pass your words along to my computer guy who not only owns the shop but is something of a friend. He does not use PSP himself so your advice should be helpful to him. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge, Dave.
From: treker on 13 Mar 2010 21:10 Another consideration. PSP 9.01 is a 32-bit app developed for use in either Vista or XP. Windows 7 is designed around a 64-bit system core which may create incompatibilites with the PSP app. If you or your friend set up the XP mode virtual machine environment within the Win 7 configuration, you may be able to get PSP 9.01 operating more smoothly (at least that's the gist I get from PC World magazine's articles on the new OS). navigate over to the PCworld website and look up any articles you can find on setting up Win 7 to operate the XP apps. That should provide many answers to your questions. On Fri, 12 Mar 2010 21:24:31 -0800 (PST), GSHATTERHAND <gshatterhand(a)aol.com> wrote: >Daryl, > >You were right four years ago.
