Later in the day on August 29th, I was able to launch PSP again! A friend suggested that I attempt a complete re-install one more time; I had tried a Repair, a Re-install, and using a System Restore Point. The final removal and new install did the trick. Though I'm not sure why, PSP responds a bit more slowly than before. Maybe it's clashing with something else that's on our computer. Who knows. I'm just happy that I have it back!
Over the last few days, I have been working off-and-on getting my PSP "rebuilt". I had the program customized with shortcut icons, etc. Then there are the Filters and all the other extras. At my age (even though not that old), I'm still a little lost when I open it. lol I was only without it for 10 days. Just when I think I have located something, nope - it's somewhere else. It's an adventure.
I'm hoping to get back to creative team projects after the weekend. My husband typically snags the computer from me over the weekends. I prefer not to select a kit and risk not being able to commit to the time-frame required. Since I've been away, there are so many gorgeous new things to choose from ... oy This Gemini's brain is swimming. Decisions, decisions. It's not easy for me sometimes - I change my mind and then I change it again, and maybe again.
Anyway - that's what's going on.

PaintShop Photo Pro XI Not Working
August 18, 2016 was the last day I was able to launch Corel PSP XI (aka version eleven back then, or X 1 now that they're up to X9 I think). I am using Windows 7 Professional and have NO plans to upgrade to Windows 10. I have it on this laptop and I don't like it.
So, I've been posting about my issues on Facebook but I had not posted anything here for friends and/or followers that do not have Facebook. Sorry about that.
Friends in the PSP Community have been trying to help me and/or sending me links where I have read that MANY users have had the same issue ... all of a sudden on Aug. 19th they could NOT open PSP. Some posters referenced PSP 9, but I don't know if they meant the *new* PSP X9 or the very old Jasc PSP 9 (changed to Corel with Version 10). A few have reported their issue was with an update of "Dropbox" and that after another update, they were able to launch PSP. I have not been so lucky. :( I have removed Dropbox from our computer; run ccCleaner to remove any of the 'bits' that an un-install leaves behind; opened the Programs Folder and deleted that folder; emptied Trash Bin --- still no PSP.
Windows 7 Pro has now indicated that PSP XI is not compatible - bull, I say! I would not have installed it on our new computer if I had not checked everything out first via Microsoft Compatibility Website; chatting with other users that had Win7 and XI at the time; etc. That was 2014 and it had functioned perfectly fine for these last two years. This is ridiculous!
Many of my PSP friends do not use Tag Scripting and I have been using it for many years. I first learned when I had Jasc PSP Version 8. Many years have passed since then and now that I sometimes have issues with my hands, I really rely on the Tag Scripting. Just the thought of losing it makes me shudder. I'm not positive, but I believe that my version of PSP is the last one that the Tag Script functions with.
