you might ask at the forums for that product, it will have to be a version that is built to work with windows 7 64 bit or you will have problems. from some googling I did find this Paint Shop Pro x2 is fully compatible with Windows 7 64bit I also found this where someone has had success by using this method. http://thepluginsite.com/products/picopro/tutorials/makework.htm "The important part is this: If you are using a 64bit operating system, the 32bit system folder is located underC:\Windows\SysWow64\. Do not place Msvcrt10.dll, which is a 32bit file, in the System32 folder of 64bit operating systems like Vista&7 64bit, because this folder is only meant for 64bit files. Once I moved the .dll files to the SysWow64 folder instead my plugins started working in PSP 9. I am still in the process of installing and transfering all my PSP things but I know it worked for at least 6 of my plugins so far." you may want to look at this also in the list it does mention paint shop pro. Application Compatibility Update for Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2: February 2010 read this info on this forum there are some that are having luck getting some older versions to run and discuss it.

WOW! You people sure brightened up my feelings. I think I have been reading too much and better get down to brass tacks and ORDER my LONG AWAITED laptop! One just slipped through my hands on account of my pokiness. Then I found another one I LOVE but is a 64 bit which left me confused again. SOOOOO, I definitely will stick to 32 bit for compatibility etc. Still leery of site unseen Toshiba Satelites but am a hair away from taking the plunge and surely will write here to you first to let you know of me being a proud owner of one! The ones I have been dickering with have a T8100 processor and wonder if the one I may have to settle for with the P7350 will be just as good if not better? I left the specs on my "Laptop" post. Thanks again for making the sunshine for me. I know I shied away from XP for the longest time only to find it so beautiful compared to Win98. Urlee

I have the same hall way, so really loved everyone's ideas! I have thought about clearing out a closet on one wall, removing the doors and putting a sleeping closet in there that stays open to the hallway to give it more width. It would only be cot sized because of the depth possibly with book shelves and a light looking like one of those European wall niches with a bed. Because I love rustic, I would layer it with a collection of wool blankets, fun pillows and maybe a pictures and/or old postcards. I have lots of guest and a child could sleep on the cot. Now, to figure out what to do with what is in the closet! What do you think of that idea? My hallway is actually the same color. I've also been thinking of running a 2 pieces of wood down the hall apart enough to hang pictures between them in an effort to make a more tidy gallery, but fear it would lengthen and skinny up the look of the hallway. If the ceiling was darker than the walls would it cause the widith to look wider? Here is a link that might be useful: Winchuck River Store

Hi Elly, I have been searching and wanting a laptop for at least 2 years now so I can participate more on these forums etc. and making "goodies" with my software programs where sitting at a desktop gets pretty tiring at "my old age" (smiles) Not a teenager anymore. I FINALLY found a laptop to my liking and $$ but it is a 64 Bit machine and I certainly would not want it if I could not use Jasc PSP's on it. Can't contact Jasc as they are no longer. Hopefully I will find out so I can get down to business here. Urlee
