Corel Paintshop Pro X5 starts automatically

Post by bkd87 »

Every time I open my laptop corel paintshop pro starts up. I am really annoyed with this & haven't found a way to keep it from doing this. I don't need it to start every single time I open my laptop. I will not be using it that often. It takes up the whole page & then I have to close it out. I hit exit, yet the next time I open my laptop it does it again. What else can I do? Is there a setting somewhere I am missing that fixes this? I just got a new laptop & this program came w/ it. It is driving me insane! lol thanks ahead of time to anyone who can help.

Not sure if it is there in Windows 8, but if I was having that occur on my XP computer (any unwanted program starting on bootup) I would run msconfig and in the startup tabI would untick those programs I did not want to run on startup. You may have to google search to see if this exists in Win 8
