Hi,

Trying to save some $. Can someone please tell me: Will PSP 5.01 run in
compatibility mode on WinXP Pro? It worked great with Win95b.

Thank you for reading this.

I don't even know what "compatibility mode" is, but my 5.01
runs fine on Windows XP PRO...

Thanks all for your help! Owen, in XP Pro's HELP, if you type in,
compatibility, you should find info on this.

5.01 is wonderful, just curious, what has 5.03 got extra?

(I'm always scared of "upgrading" to something with bugs...)

Thanks for the pointer, but I wont fix what isn't broke.
I've been using PSP 5.01 for months now on XP PRO with
no problems. :)

I guess 5.03 has some bug fixes over 5.01. It was created
long before I joined Jasc.

> (I'm always scared of "upgrading" to something with bugs...)


Put aside fear. Maintenance releases remove bugs. I run
PSP 5.03 and have never ever had a problem with it. If you
don't have a problem with 5.01 maybe you shouldn't change.
I was only letting you know that you were not fully up to
date on maintenance releases. It doesn't make any difference
to me what you do as a result of being told that.

:-) Um, Owen, please read my post again...I did not suggest you should
change anything on your computer. You said you did not know what
"compatibility mode" was, so I suggested you read about it in WinXP's Help.

Unless your name is Microsoft, where the bug release removes a couple of
bugs and introduces a load more.

Unfortunately, this phenomenon is not unique to Microsoft.

Uni, you may put your usual JASC/Corel pot shot here.

This is a section of the PSP5.03 release notes:-
"Changes from Paint Shop Pro 5.01
To improve productivity and efficiency, we have made the following
enhancements:
· Paint Shop Pro is now fully compatible with Kai's Power Tools version
5.
· PSD format support has been enhanced for greater compatibility with
Adobe® Photoshop® version 5.
· Support for the SciTex format has been modified for greater
compatibility with supporting third party applications.
· Significant performance improvements have been made to the program
when working with large images. These improvements enhance the
painting, resizing, undo, and rotation functions.
· When the File Associations dialog is used to change file types
currently associated with Paint Shop Pro, the changes will now be
reflected in the Windows File Types dialog without restarting Paint Shop
Pro.
· The Status Bar will now provide a more accurate indication of progress
when opening or saving large TIFF files.

Based on user input and feedback, we have made the following changes and
corrections:
· After deleting one or more files through the browser and selecting a
new folder, the contents of the folder will now display rather than
requiring the folder to be re-selected.
· When the "Surround current selection" command in the Select Area
dialog box is used after the current selection has been contracted, the
new selection will be properly defined.
· Interrupting the movement or deletion of multiple files in the browser
will no longer cause browser thumbnails to display incorrectly.
· The Undo system has been updated to address issues that could occur
when this command is used after duplicating layers, moving selections,
changing the active layer, using the Color Replacer, creating multiple
text edits, and using the Shapes tool on a 4-bit image.
· An issue that could cause parts of the crop marquee to disappear when
viewing at 1:1 has been corrected.
· An issue that could cause some users to encounter a slight rounding of
rectangle edges using the program in Windows NT 4.0 has been resolved.
· The color palette of an image will now update when the image is
converted to grey scale.
· An issue that could cause the Eyedropper tool to pick an incorrect
color index number when used on an open image from the Edit Palette
dialog box has been addressed.
· When a new layer is added to an image using the Paste As New Layer
command, the program will now prompt the user to save changes to the
file if the image is closed before it is resaved.
· Pressing the CTRL key when a painting tool is active and the cursor is
placed outside the canvas area will no longer cause an error message.
· Changing the active layer or hitting the Delete key when the
Deformation tool is active will no longer generate an error.
· The Color Replacer will no longer generate an error message when used
on a selection that has been moved.
· Using the Circle deformation under Windows 98 will no longer generate
an error message.
· Crop functionality has been modified to prevent the creation of a crop
marquee that is larger than the target image. Some users may have
encountered an error when defining a marquee or resizing an image with
an existing marquee.
· When a resize operation is performed on an image and the user's system
does not have sufficient available memory to perform the operation, a
message indicating this condition will be displayed and the operation
will abort. Users may have encountered an error when encountering this
situation in previous versions of Paint Shop Pro.
· An option will now be displayed when the user attempts to load a
selection from disk that is larger than the target image. Previously,
this condition could cause an error.
· Screen capture functionality has been modified to address an issue
that could prevent proper operation when the program is used on a
multi-monitor system.
· An issue that could cause an error when using blend modes with the
Fill Tool in Mask Edit mode has been resolved."
