  • PSP7 or PSP9 in Windows 7 - anyone got working properly?

    From Charlie+@21:1/5 to All on Mon Sep 2 06:44:31 2019
    Any tricks to getting to work in Windows 7?
    Tried a few days ago with PSP7 and it loaded and worked after a fashion
    (W7 x64) but no real success.
    These are XP era programs which work faultlessly under XP. C+

    They both work but will revert to XP graphics window, Only open files
    from within the program (no right click - open with),and only print to
    the default printer.

    Thanks for reading and reply, I dont understand quite what you mean by
    'revert to XP graphics' window? Is this something I can workaround?
    I tried to use the camera button to capture Multiple screen areas and it
    failed with many artifacts and I had to give up!
    If I can make it useable I would rather stick to a well used and
    understood program than have to relearn with Gimp etc. C+

    I was wrong it reverts to Win 7 Basic menus. it's been awhile since I
    used it. Tried the capture on a photo and agree it is not the best.
    other screenshot tools you will need to do a copy and paste. Ninite .com
    has offers safe downloads of a variety of software, most open source.
    There is a screenshot program, Greenshot, in the Imaging section that
    might be better, I have not tried that program though.
