Paint Shop Pro 8 Beta 2

_QUOTEC

Beta 2 is an interim release that addresses several startup issues that prevented the program from running.

The issues addressed are:

An issue has been corrected that would cause the application to fail to start and report a 201 error if it was unable to locate Notepad.exe. If you experienced this error with Beta 1, you will need to manually configure this path in Beta 2. After starting Beta 2, you should go to File>Preferences>File Locations and enter the path to a text editor in the Python Source Editor category.

An issue has been corrected that would cause the application to fail to start and report a 118 error if it was unable to locate a default web browser. If you experienced this error with Beta 1, you will need to manually configure this path in Beta 2. After starting Beta 2, you should go to File->Preferences->File Locations and enter the proper path to a web browser in the Web Browser category.
An incompatibility with Windows NT 4 systems was addressed. This would manifest as an error at startup about Shell32.dll

Some people have received a message that the application cannot start because some command libraries were missing. We have not yet determined the cause of this, but the app will now attempt to run in this state. Depending on what is failing to load it may or may not run acceptably, but we wanted to give you the option of trying to use it. More importantly, the program will generate a log file and ask you to mail it to Jasc Software if this occurs.

A problem that affected memory usage on flat images has been corrected.

If you are currently running beta 1 and do not have any of the startup issues described there is no need to download beta 2.

Beta 2 will expire on March 27th, 2003.
