Does Paint Shop Pro 8 come with DELL or at least on one of the CDs? After i reinstalled my system, I looked around trying to find the Paint Shop Pro 8 Cd but can't find it no where! I did find a CD where I can download and install when it said Paint Shop Pro 8 but it looked different than I used to have. The one I used to have had a desktop shortcut icon of a glass or cup of paintbrushes in it. So what I found wasn't what I was looking for. Even if I could use what I found, it's a 60 days trial and we never had to pay for it. Besides, why would a trial be on a CD? Anyways, I was wondering if it comes with DELL or if it can be find from the downloads and drivers. The only application I found on my drivers and utiltiies CD was the keyboard application and what I found on this site was only Jasc Paintshop Photo Album 4.0 and I found out that paintshop was from Corel. I do have Corel but only for Word Perfect so I can't find the CD I used to have for the paintshop I used to have anywhere! Do you know where I can download it for free or at least know what other image editor I can use and download? I think Paintshop would be considered image editor or creator or whatever it was.
As far as I know, Dell OEM Paintshop Pro is the trial version, and the CD would have the software that was initially installed. I don't think you can get a non trial version free, though as the current version is Paintshop pro X (or 10), you might be able to pick up a version 8 quite cheaply from , e.g. ebay. Corel bought Jasc and hence are now the company that sells paintshop pro (and photo album).
As for the shortcut icon being different from what you had previously, I don't know why it would be, but you can always change the icon for a shortcut if you don't like the one you have (right click the short cut, click properties, click change icon).
yeah but I don't understand. The Paint Shop Pro 8 I used to have had the shortcut icon of a cup or glass with paintbrushes in it and it would go on forever, no trial at all ending. It might not be paint shop pro. If it isn't then I don't know what it is.
Perhaps you mean MS Paint, which is part of Windows? I suggest that from the description you give of its shortcut icon. If so, it is mspaint.exe in your \Windows\system32 folder.
Make a shortcut to that and see if it opens what you're used to.
yep! That's it! I found it in the location you mentioned and I was wrong about the name of the program, it is just simply "Paint." I just forgot the name of the program, lol. Thanks! :smileyhappy:
