I have had the program 'jasc paint shop pro 9.01' on my computer for a while now and recently when i have opened up a new canvas, a white and grey checkered image has appeared rather then the blank white canvas that is supposed to appear as the default. Can anyone please give me some help in troubleshooting this problem? Also the colour pallete does not seem to be appearing in the toolbars on the right hand side of the program screen so i am unable to choose a colour to draw with. any help would be appreciated thanks alot .....
