Most of the programs that I backed up before taking the computer into the shop have re-loaded and operate without any observable difficulty. But a few are being troublesome… one being “Paint Shop Pro Ultimate Photo X2.” This is one I use daily for processing photos and fixing drawings and such, but the re-loaded version simply refuses to run, claiming that the configuration is wrong or some damned thing. It kindly suggests that I re-install the program… something I’d be happy to do if I could only find it. And after a day of digging, it’s nowhere to be found. I’m looking right at the paper user’s guide, but the disk itself has vanished like a fart in the wind. Best Buy, where I bought it, suggested that the proper course of action would be to buy another copy. Grrrrr.

Anyone have a copy they’d be willing to loan me for a day?

  1. You should be able to DL the full version from Corel and just use the key that came with your paperwork.

  2. I suspect the “paperwork” is right next to the disk. All I’ve managed to locate has been the user guide.

    I’m reasonably certain I put it away carefully so it wouldn’t get lost. But I seem to have forgotten where that safe place is.

  3. Bah. I gave in and bought a copy from Amazon. I can only assume that this will mean that I’ll find the original disk and paperwork and whatnot before it arrives in the mail.

  4. Yeah, that’s how it usually works for me.
