Resetting PSP to default

Resetting PSP to default (deleting PSP's registry) can fix many problems within PSP, errors caused by a corrupt registry missing or greyed out tools and other irregularities. The big draw back from resetting is the loss of custom settings you have made and having to redo the preferences.

To delete and re-write PSP's registry (reset defaults) do the following:

Go to START/PROGRAMS/Jasc Software Inc/ PAINT SHOP PRO 7(8/9/X etc).

Immediately after you click on the PAINT SHOP PRO 7(8/9/X etc) icon press and hold CTRL+ALT on your keyboard.

Paint Shop Pro will ask you if you would like to delete the registry settings for Paint Shop Pro. Select YES.

When Paint Shop Pro opens it will have all the restored features of initial installation.

************************

Freeing space in the PSP Program Folder

When you applied the PSP Patch 7.02 , Version 7.02 created a backup of version 7 in a folder called Unpatch ( C:\Program Files\Jasc Software Inc\Paint Shop Pro 7\Unpatch folder)

The same would apply if you installed the 7.04 patch, a back up of 7.02 would have been created.

If you have run PSP patched versions with no problem then it is unnecessary to keep this folder on your hard drive.
