Paint Shop Pro 7

      • I asked how to eliminate this program’s entries from the registry a couple days ago because I needed to open a particular graphic file and couldn’t otherwise. I wanted to re-install the trial version, but never did figure out how. I found PSP7 on sale somewhere and bought it anyway.

  • The first couple days I had it, everything worked fine.
  • Now, this morning, today, when I try to draw a freehand line, it connects the ends of the freehand line with another straight line, and fills the enclosed areas in with another background color. I don’t want it to, I didn’t ask it to, the first couple days it didn’t. The book says nothing about this that I can quickly find; the help files don’t say how to prevent it from doing this; they only say how to choose the color it uses. I even uninstalled and reinstalled, and the program came back with all the settings it had when it left. WTF? - MC
      • Perhaps I should clarify: when I draw a freehand line, it performs a fill on the line ends, and I don’t want it to at all. I can’t find anything anywhere that says how to unset this “feature”.
        —And speaking of those things, this program sure likes it’s illegal operations, at least on my machine. Is it like this for everybody? It bombs out a lot. I note there’s no patches for ver 7. - MC

Why not try a right click when you’re doing a line? Usually a menu comes up with settings you can change. Im sure the program has preferences where you can change settings.
