COREL PAINTER ESSENTIALS 5 CRASHING INSTALL

I honestly can't answer whether installing any of Corel's 'extras' might have caused this because though I used the program before installing any of them (the recently on sale Photo Video Ultimate Packs) with Painter Essentials 6, ParticleShop, Photo Mirage and some creative pack) I never tried any advanced editing.Īny thoughts? Anyone else run into this? The scratch disk I'm using only has about 5 Gig available, and I don't have any excessive demands undo wise.

I have only tried this on my machine at home, so I'll install it on my work machine and see if I have similar issues. The program is updated fully and the version shows as the latest version.

The whole program becomes non-responsive, and within about thirty seconds to a minute, it closes on its own with no error messages or anything. If I try to use something like Smart Photo Fix, or anything where there are settings to tweak, the split screen window comes up full screen and in what looks like the 'photo' interface (I use full) but there's an immediate error chime that rolls about three or four 'dings' and the buttons don't populate nor does the 'preview' window load. In fact, both loading the program and the effects I've applied this way work well. If I use something that's automatic, like Instant Photo Fix or Instant Noise Removal, everything works as expected.

I installed both 32 and 64 bit versions (the recommendation) and this happens in both versions. I just downloaded PaintShop Pro last week, and this weekend have been poking around to see if it's a keeper or not.
