Inside that, you should have sub-folders for each previously & currently installed versions, like:Įach of those, should include many sub-folders, intended for user-saved presets, like: Ok, here is what I would do (but it ain't quick, you may want to make a cup of coffee, and maybe a bunch of sandwiches too )įirst thing, for not loosing your presets etc, each PSP installation creates a "Corel PaintShop Pro" folder inside your Windows Documents folder. Oh, it sounds like the restoring really messed up existing PSP installations on your system. I was considering reloading the program, but I'm concerned that I would loose all my settings, plugins, paintbrushes I've created, etc.

In task manager, under status, it says the program is not responding. The only way to get ride of PSP is 'ctrl/alt/delete' and open the task manager and end program. My PC doesn't stop working, I can still do everything else with it. If I right click the tab in the taskbar and click 'close window', nothing happens. Once I do that, I re-launch PSP and this time it runs normally. When I see that, I know I have to check the Task Manager and kill the left-over(s) manually. Personally I don't use it, because in my case, when a leftover exists in the background, PSP simply does not open when I launch it. But in general, it appears quite randomly and for undefined reasons.Ī member of this forum has put together a little batch-file, to tackle the issue: One thing that seems to trigger it somenwhat consistently is when you close the program and try to re-launch it too fast (in less than 30-40 secs - depending on the system it could be longer or shorter). It happens quite randomly and afaik no one has ever managed to consistently reproduce the issue across the several versions of Windows and PSP itself. But if is it the latter, we all have that issue and it has been mentioned that it exists even before Corel acquired PSP from Jasc. If the window stays open, then it is the 1st time I hear something like that, so I can't really help. When you say PSP does NOT close, you mean the PSP window stays open, or it closes but the program keeps running in the background?
