My photo editor, Corel PhotoPaint 7, has suddenly started crashing to the point that it is non-functional. Any modification of an image results in a crash. Worked fine yesterday, started up today and won't work. <sigh!> I have done the usual quick fixes, restored from tape backup, ran virus checker, etc., to no avail. Until I can get it working again, I am out of business, and my local geek is not available. <img src="images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I HATE COMPUTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <img src="images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> Sorry folks, but...

Doug,
You may want check that you have the very, very latest anti virus updates. The latest mydoom variant attacks stored pictures. I believe that it has only started showing up in the last week or so.

Doug,

I would happy to edit any pics you may have, I'm quite proficient in photoshop and would be glad to lend my support in that way, let me know.....message me if you need the help, and i'll forward my email.

Thanks. Always maintain the latest, automatically. Confirmed that. Images are fine, it's program that crashes when trying to do anything to an image. Even if corrupted, restoring should have solved that, but no change.

Thanks for the generous offer. I've tried "remote" before and it's so complicated that it is extremely difficult to manage and the results left all involved not very happy. <img src="images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Will keep it in mind however, as a possible last resort.

it might be a compatability conflict with another program, or if theres image problems maybe your low on ram?

the shot link had some great looking knives that id love to get.

i have a question for everyone about the leatherman tools they are stopping production on.
having never owned one (yeah i know save the flames ) are the old ones superior to the new ones? you know how sometimes the older models are just better to some.

or am i better off just buying the current style tool?
