Paint Shop Pro 9 problem

from JoeUser Forums
When I try and start PSP 9, the mouse goes to "hourglass" and then stops. When I check the task manager it shows PSP 9 is running, but it's not on the desktop. Anybody else having this problem?

If you kill the process in Task Manager, will it open?

The same thing happened to me. I opened IconPackager and tools on the menu and unchecked the Repair Shell Icon and rebooted. Then PSP 9 opened ok

Hope it helps

That did it. Thanks for the help everyone. Is this a problem that's been going on, or something new?

I have the latest update and that's when the problem started.

you don't really have to uninstall Icon Packager. You just have to unregister IPRepair.dll, that's what was causing all the mess.
