A word of advice won't go amiss! Before editing any photo, create two folders.

Below are two download links to the condensed English version Help File that I wrote on Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7: For the newer version Paint Shop Pro 8, click on the buttons above.

This is the link for the Win Help version as supplied with many programmes - not supported in Microsoft Vista Windows. This works in earlier Microsoft Windows versions Win3.1, Win 95, Win98X, 2000 and XP

The button below is the new CHM Htm/Html type version: supported in all Microsoft Windows versions.

See the Download instructions below and read my conditions for downloading them.

Download size for both versions is approximately 3 MB.

(At the moment only English versions exist. If someone wants to translate them into other languages that would be very nice indeed; feel free to do so. Unfortunately, I can't pay for this and it would have to be done voluntary.

Hebrew versions:
I am still working on the Hebrew language versions, and if someone wants to volunteer to help me do it, that would be really appreciated; I am sorry, but I can't pay you anything for doing this.)

Paint Shop Pro is a wonderful user friendly programme to use full of useful tools.

then Left mouse button click on "Save Target As" (Internet Explorer) "Save Link As" (Mozilla Firefox and some other browsers).

Due to the Microsoft Security update 896358 users on a network who wish to view .chm help files will need to alter the registry. Microsoft has released a support page http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896358 giving various options. The following solution is from http://www.helpscribble.com/chmnetwork.html

1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the following subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions
If this registry subkey does not exist, create it.
3. Right-click the ItssRestrictions subkey, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
4. Type MaxAllowedZone, and then press Enter.
5. Right-click the MaxAllowedZone value, and then click Modify.
6. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
7. Quit Registry Editor.

Another solution is to right click a downloaded file and in Windows Explorer left click the Unblock button. See Microsoft http://support.microsoft.com/kb/902225/ for more information.

WinHlp [Winhelp] files are not affected by the 896358.

If you find that in either Microsoft Vista or Microsoft Windows 7 you are unable to view a WinHlp type file then see below and download the appropriate file.

Note: for Vista and Windows 7 there's a Microsoft programme which you can download, which lets you view WinHlp type files. Here are the links:

For Microsoft Vista Windows Help Viewer: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=82148

For Microsoft Windows 7 Windows Help Viewer: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=258aa5ec-e3d9-4228-8844-008e02b32a2c

Emergency Registry Repair Procedure

Emergency Registry Repair Procedure: Microsoft has a fix that you can use.

^{Are you having
the problem with installing Microsoft Windows XP Pro or Home SP3
updates after downloading them?}

^{The problem
occurs when you use your Windows XP Setup disk to repair Windows
instead of undertaking a clean-fresh installation, though I have
found it can also occur on a clean install: Although the files are
on the Hard Disk, because of the new 2007 changes at Microsoft
Update, the file that installs them is not registered in the
Registry. I followed their instructions on the Microsoft Support
page.}

^{The following
is a link to a pdf file of the Microsoft Support page regarding non
update of drivers in Microsoft Windows XP SP3.}

^{Left click on
the button below to download the pdf file.}

^{You should also
download and install the latest Windows 4.5 Redistributable (left
click the download button and save it to desktop. It can be
downloaded from Microsoft Updates: new computer programmes like
Microsoft Office 2007 may need this installer to install them.
Restart your computer after installation.}

This is the download link for the latest Microsoft Windows Installer 4.5 Redistributable, which Microsoft says can update any earlier versions
