Paint Shop Pro 7.02 and my Geforce 2 GTS

Recommended Posts

Hello People...

 

Whilst working on some graphics for a new website, I came across a really annoying problem.

 

I mostly use Paint Shop Pro 7 to do all my graphics, and have never had trouble before.

 

Everything is fine, until I start doing selections, either with the Selection Tool, Freehand Selection or Magic Wand, the computer slows to a crawl. The mouse moves like a 1mm per minute across the screen. If I take the selection off, everything is fine again.

 

Now, this ain't some dozy 486 running Windows 2000, this a Athlon T/Bird 1.2 Ghz!!

 

Specs:

 

Athlon 1.2 Ghz (On 266Mhz FSB)

640Mb RAM (PC133)

Guillemot Geforce 2 GTS (32Mb) (With 12.00 Detonators)

Abit KT7-A Raid

Version 7.02 of Paint Shop Pro

 

Now, I'm thinking its the graphics card? or to be more to the point, the Detonator drivers. Anyone know what the 2D limitations are of these drivers, as everyone always seems to be interested in the 3D properties foremost.

 

Suggestions are welcome. Solutions would be a godsend.

 

Thanx

I got the same problem here. Had it since psp 7.00, then tried 7.01 and 7.02. They all have this problem. I used to have psp 6.0 and it worked fine on the same config and also in win2k, but i of course have changed detonator drivers since then...

 

my system:

 

p3 800EB@852

abit be6-2

256 MB RAM PC133

hercules geforce ddr (detonators 11.01)

sblive value

win2k

 

I never thought it could be a detonator problem. but it seems it is. on my parent's computer psp 7 works fine.

 

config:

 

Celeron 600@750

Sis 8 MB videocard

320 MB RAM PC100

Guillemot fortissimo

win2k

Perhaps its something Jasc should be made aware of.

 

I don't think I suffered from it under previous Detonator drivers, only the latest ones (10.40 - 12.00).

 

I know that there is newsgroup for Paint Shop Pro. I'm gonna go have a snoop around it and see if anyone suffers the same problem.
