Where in Registry are all PSP X2 settings stored?

Post by pstein »

It seems that I have recently accidentially partially corrupted my (64bit Win 7) Registry.

When I try to start now PSP X2 (which worked fine for a long time) then I got an error prompt:

"This copy of Paint Shop Pro has been damaged or illegally modified.
Please reinstall from your original source"

This is extremely annoying.
I have to search for the old sources (which are at my parents home) and go through the whole installation process again.

To prevent such a mess again in future I want to backup the whole PSP-Registry-branch of my PSP X2 installation.
Therefore I need to know where exactly all the entries are stored in Registry.

Can someone tell me the exactly location.

Thank you
Peter

Because this "message" I left PSP X2 on Windows 7 x32. It happened to me quite offten ..once a month.
For me PSP X2 was completely fine only on Windows XP.

It seems another program updates overwrite some registry settings and PSP X2 evalue it as install corruption... :shock:

I've seen that exact error message when Protexis Licensing was disabled in Services. Check to make sure it's enabled.
