Corel need to inform users how to tame the photo downloader. There is nothing in the manual or on the Corel website I could find to help us to steer clear of this intrusive function.
I have Adobe Photoshop Elements, its photo downloader can be turned off, and it certainly doesn't take over the computer.
But from what I have read about PSP Photo X2 it has been worth the time and effort to get to this point where the software and I can work together.
I can't thank you and Haley64 enough!
