If you have scale you have ants. Ants farm the scale. They bring it to the plant and eat the secretions. Systemic poison like orthene helps. Work on getting rid of the ants.

It sounds like when you installed the program it changed the file association to PSP. Try going into you My Pictures folder (not the PSP program), right click on a picture. At the bottom of the drop down list, click Properties. On the GENERAL tab, it should show what the picture opens with. Try changing it back to Windows Photo Viewer and see if that helps. Sometimes, when you install some of these programs, it wants to take over everything on your computer. It doesn't have to be that way to work - they just want it in everything. I see there are a lot of PSP forums - google "PSP Forum" - you might find one that can help you better than I. Have fun - I am thinking about buying this program, as the one I use is no longer made.

Thank you gals, Welcome here Diane------ I have 7,8,and X. I learned on 7 and find it the easiest and thee "Good ole reliable" when all else fails, "lol" but there are a lot of new nice tools in the later versions that I love. Also, added, needed features, like being able to use more file locations. (like adding more than you have to,huh Joy? "lol") Anyhow, "Listen to Sue, and you learn the tricks of the trade and the fear of getting arrested." "lol" (just kidding) But she loves to be picked on! (I hope) I find PSPX to be like a skeleton of the Jasc's because we have to ADD so much to get it like 7&8 as far as the already there stuff like eye candy 3.1 plug-ins, etc. Also, No Jasc Animation Shop with X where you get it with the others. If my hands were tied to where I was allowed only ONE, even tho I have never tried it, I would get 9. You stay here while you are learning, and all of us will try and help you like we all got help from each other. A lot of the older ones "graduated" and went on to "bigger & better" things but some of us regulars stayed to either pick on each other or cause "we didn't graduate yet?" "lol" "have fun, will travel" ~Urlee~

Never mind I found it just by messing around.
