I can not open Paint shop pro 9. I just restored my computer. I reinstalled everything. The computer runs good, but I can't open PSP9. I have XP. My desktop is a HP. Any help WOULD be great.

ThanksMe too. I had an experience like that. I had to install XP all over again. Do not install the AV until the install is complete. This means you have to have all your stuff on a local media, CD or another HDD. Paint shop has to be one of the last thins you install. Except the AV program.
And no, I don't know why. Spent days and days and days on it.It was the last thing I installed. I had to install it on my laptop, but I would love it to be on my desktop. So frustrating.If you want to pursue this, here is what I might do.
Create a new partition on my desktop PC. large enough to hold a bare XP install. About 7GB should do. Install a bare XP with no updates. The new install will update BOOT.INI so that you have a Multi boot system.

Do not connect to the Internet. No other programs. Just install Paint Shop Pro. You may get a good install this time

This is one good reason to have Multi boot.Sometimes you have programs that just do not get along and the have to be in each in a separate little world.

Such programs remind us of some people!I am not sure if I know how to do that. Sorry, do not MEAN to make it HARD.

This is a partition program that I have used. But you should not try it unless you have a backup of some kind. There is always the possibility that this kind of software =can go bad. I hive never had this one fail, so I would recommend it.
What it does is like the re size feature in Vista. But this will WORK with XP or 2000 or almost any version of Windows. You reduce the size of you main Hard Drive partition by a few gigabytes, Say 7GB. Then you reboot and put in the XP setup CD and run a new install of WINDOW XP in the new or free space of the drive.The new XP will go onto D: instead of C:. I do that so that I can have another environment to try something the does not seem to work right on my main system.And sure 'nuff. I find things that do not work well in the big partition, but will work in the new, smaller partition. Not sure why. Just had a program like that with my Speech Recognition software. And had whet with Paint Shop Pro.
