Opening Paint Shop Pro 9
For me Corel’s Paint Shop Pro 9 will hang on opening and will never fully open if I just click the icon and wait LOL This computer was purchased new in 2006 with XP on it. I have no idea why this happens but it does. I have searched for a way to get PSP 9 to work and it took a while so I thought I would share how I do it. Screen shots are provided just click the links in the text.
- Right Click on Desktop –> Select Properties
- Dispay Properties window will open –> Select the Settings tab at the top
- Click the “Advanced” button –> another window will open
- Select the Troubleshoot Tab–> You should now be viewing “Hardware acceleration“
- Move Slide bar to None –> Click apply –> Your screen may flicker this is ok
- Leave these windows open for a few more minutes as we are going to use them again.
- Open Paint Shop Pro 9 as you normally would open it or any other program.
- After Paint Shop Pro is fully open –> Go back to the open “Hardware acceleration” window
- Move Slide bar back to Full –> Click apply –> Your screen may flicker this is ok
- Close windows –> clicking OK is fine.
