PSP 5 filters

Post by wintersoulstice »

Hi, I'm a newbie to the forum, but I've been using my trusty PSP 5 since 1999. I have some of the filters that were available from then and would like to find more - if you know where I can get them, I'd really appreciate some info! My main question is that the help function isn't functioning and I haven't found any info on the web about it. It's been several years since I've used the program, how do I get the filters to load in my filters menu? I currently have them in a Plug-ins folder. Do I need to rename the folder to filters in order for them to load? Thanks so much in advance for your help!

Just to be clear, you're wanting help to get PSP 5 (not X5 or 2015) to load filters on a Windows 10 machine? You're not asking how to get PSP5 filters to work with a later version of PSP. Is this correct?

I cannot help with PSP 5 and filters as I don't have it on my system. But did want to see if I could help with the help. If so, PSP 5 would have relied on Microsoft's Windows Help Viewer. There were two versions, one for older .hlp files and a "newer" one for .chm (compiled help) files. Microsoft no longer directly supports these. However, this online topic does point to two downloads - https://superuser.com/questions/1419313 ... nhlp32-exe

The Microsoft Link no longer works but you can access it from the Wayback Machine - https://web.archive.org/web/20120505125 ... x?id=21138

I have no idea if the links on this page go anywhere but this page does have the instructions for getting filters to work in PSP5
