Sorry yes I saw this the other day but read Corel PSP and overlooked it since I didn't have a clue what it was about!
Just curious was it the newest version PSPXI?
Besides the issues that come for some people with that version. You also have to make sure that your computer is up to snuff to run these programs. Enough RAM and physical memory as they are big hogs on older systems.
If you ever get a chance to buy PSPX not XI give it another try, usually you can find them on sale like at amazon and such places.
