Paint Shop Pro

Is there a way I can get Paint Shop Pro to work in Zorin please

Not tried that. But this report suggest that it (version 9) runs on Ubuntu 14.04 (which is what Zorin is based on):

You need to use 'WINE' to install it.

Thanks very much Swarfendor437 I need to figure out how to use Wine I have got a Paint Shop Pro 9 CD

OK, back shortly!

Ok thanks I am just of myself but I will try to get back soon

OK, First go to Menu and look for "Wine" and select:



Next, "Browse C: Drive":



Click on that cog wheel top right and select 'New folder



Name the folder the same as what your Paint Shop Pro CD shows up as in your Desktop / Computer / Places in Zorin - in the example given is NEW - this was a free game (one of 6 CD's) that came with my first ever nVidia card:



Now right-click the CD and select "Open"



Next select all the files that are there and copy them across to the folder you created in the fake "C: drive" that WINE uses.

Next in the new folder you have copied everything too, look for 'Setup.exe', right-click and select 'Properties' then click on the 'Permissions tab' and 'check' "Allow executing file as a program" and once done click on 'Close' button:



Next right-click the 'Setup.exe' icon and from the context menu select "Open with Wine Windows Program Loader":



You should then get the first screen of your Paint Shop Pro setup screens:



At the end you should get one or two icons on your desktop:



I had some issues with this program not running in correct resolution mode so had to 'Window' it - suspect this is down to the fact it is a game and also possibly because I am using the default GNU/Linux graphics drivers instead of nVidia as it worked flawlessly on previous installations of Zorin 9!

Keep us posted!

and a Happy New Year when it arrives!

A Happy New Year to you as well hope it's a good one

Thank you very much for the explanation how to get psp it is very well done and easy to read.

I did it but the icon didn't appear on my desktop and when I got it to launch it froze so I uninstalled it I am going to give it another go but I will take it a bit slower this time I might have missed something the first time round

I have installed it again and when the program launches and the learning center comes up it freezes and there is no icon on the desktop will post some screen shots soon but I have to get dinner on just now so will be back soon

Hi sue,

two more approaches to try:

1. See if it will install with PlayOnLinux - it should be listed under WINE.

2. Download a copy of "Cross-Over" from Codeweavers.com - you get a 30-day free trial - they used to have a 25% discount with the phrase "cometothelight" after the "wine-doors project" went west!

I have installed Crossover

Just going to try to install PSP 9 so be back soon

here is the screenshot I was saying where it freezes

No luck I tried both programs you said
I will have to find out how to use them properly but what I tried didn't work

Thanks for your help

I have psp7 I will have a go at that

Hurrah PSP7 is working thank you

I have learnt so much this afternoon thanks to you.

Still a bit of a puzzler why PSP9 won't work it's so nearly working it seems to be the learning centre that freezes it up.

Thanks again

I am back again

On Crossover I get this but I don't know how to go further



After double clicking i get this

Sorry, I can't access those images!

Sorry I will find out how to upload images I thought you would be able to see them

But for now it doesn’t matter really because I have got PSP9 to install

I did it with crossover I am not sure how I did it but it seems to be working ok I will give it a good try out tomorrow.

Thanks very much for all your help Swarfendor437

Glad to be of service!

I know Cross-Over may seem expensive but it is a great piece of software and you are contributing to the WINE project in the long-run so it's a WIN(E)/WIN(E)!

Oh, how to upload screenshots to this forum (Opera Browser 12.16 works the best for Zorin and other distros for uploading screenshots);

I haven't bought it yet I am still on the trial but it will stop working when the trial runs out so I had better buy it

Thanks for the help on uploading images
