I've been having problems opening psp 7,8,9 and animation shop. Prior to this, I did full clean of my system using PCbugdoctor, trogan guard and spybot search and destroy. My computer had been running slow so that is what I did. Only one of these programs asked to do a backup. I then did a system restore and the same thing is happening. The only way that I can open psp is to open a psp file(graphic etc.) by double clicking it........that opens the program up, and then I can open animation shop from within psp. And it only opens psp7. I hope that I explained this right and someone can help me to fix this. Joyce |

I believe the reinstallbackups folder are for when you update a driver to newer version, this gives you the ability to "roll back" to the previous one. I may be wrong on this, but it is definitely driver related.
So what happens when you double-click on the animation shop icons? Does it attempt to load anything? -------------------- Lawrence

I don't know if this has anything to do with your problem but I do know that if you have installed Service Pack 2 then you can't install PSP 8. Read this article: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=873176

Are you having problems launching other shortcuts or programs or is it just these programs?
