Trouble with Paint Shop Pro 9

If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

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.

1. Right Click on Desktop –> Select Properties
2. Dispay Properties window will open –> Select the Settings tab at the top
3. Click the “Advanced” button –> another window will open
4. Select the Troubleshoot Tab–> You should now be viewing “Hardware acceleration“
5. Move Slide bar to None –> Click apply –> Your screen may flicker this is ok
6. Leave these windows open for a few more minutes as we are going to use them again.
7. Open Paint Shop Pro 9 as you normally would open it or any other program.
8. After Paint Shop Pro is fully open –> Go back to the open “Hardware acceleration” window
9. Move Slide bar back to Full –> Click apply –> Your screen may flicker this is ok
10. Close windows –> clicking OK is fine.
