Is Corel Paint Shop not compatible with Windows 8?

 

Hi,

 You know I rather doubt that it works fully in Windows 8 since it’s still fairly new and is currently a dev build so naturally some programs still have some kinks in them and might not work correctly on Win 8. You can try to install it in compatibility mode though and see if it works that way. But this time it’s still too early that all programs are supported on Win 8. I suggest you run this on a build that it will work without problems, perhaps Win 7 or Vista.

Probably Corel paint shop pro that you just installed is not compatible with the windows 8 operating system, and having installed it twice it will be less likely that the problem is because some fault that may have occurred during the installation. Therefore you will need to do the following:

• First check the system specifications of your computer, things like the version of windows 8 operating system that is installed, is it a 32 bit or 64 bit and so forth.
• And then go to the internet and search for a Corel paint shop application using those system specifications so that you will download a version that is compatible to your computer.
• Try installing that application again and see if it works fine.
