PSP X8 / Win10

Post by linkot7 »

I'm having a few growing pains with PSP X8 amd Win10. When I minimize PSP X8 (64 bit) and want to click to bring PSP back to life, full screen, I get a strip of my open PSP graphics/photos just above the taskbar icon. I have to click on an item rather than just click in the taskbar to maximize the program! Is this a setting that can be changed?

That's a bit strange. I have no trouble at all with X8 on two different computers, both running Win 10 (one Win 10 Pro). When I hover my mouse over the PSP icon in the task bar, the full thumbnail of an open image appears, not just part of it. Clicking on either the thumbnail or the icon in the taskbar opens the program in full screen.

Have you added either of the X8 service packs, or is it the original version of X8?

Thanks Ken. I recently installed X8 on a new PC ... the latest service park was installed with the initial installation. You helped me ... the thumbnails popping up above the taskbar distracted me and I didn't even try to click the actual icon on the taskbar. I found that I can ignore the thumbnails and just click the icon. :) Thanks!
