I’ve recently installed Paintshop Pro X2 on a new PC. However for some reason when I click either FILE > OPEN or FILE > BATCH PROCESS it crashes to desktop – everytime.

There are no errors or warnings, the whole application just instantly disappears as if I’ve just clicked FILE > EXIT. It doesn’t even leave any dead processes in Task Manager or events in Event Viewer.

Fortunately I can open photos in PSP X2 by dragging them into the application from Explorer, but this is obviously very inconvenient. As such I’ve been looking around Google and Corels support pages all afternoon, but frustratingly cant find anything even remotely related to this issue. I’m therefore not sure what I’m supposed to do next to sort it out. Could anyone offer any suggestions please?

Copied below is my System Info as per the System Info button in ‘About Paint Shop Pro X2’.

Many Thanks,

Colin

Don’t expect much (if any) reaction on questions concerning Paintshop in this newsgroup. Rather make use of a relevant newsgroup.

You can start here:

Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Event Viewer, Application and see if there is an error you can research from there.

You posted in a Photoshop newsgroup so not many PSP users here?
