PaintShop Pro=Color scheme has been changed to windows 7 basic

Assuming you mean the services on the msconfig list, here are the screenshots.

Performance Settings was previously set on Let Windows Choose.

I changed it as per your instructions to Adjust for Best Appearance.

Closed and reopened PaintShop Pro 9, and Windows still changes the color scheme to Windows 7 basic.

Thanks.

Yup, that's what I figured, too. I just thought I'd try here as a last resort. I can live with the way Windows grumbles every time I open Jasc PSP 9. I've tried more recent versions, but like so many other PSP fans, have been disappointed with the Corel products.

One last question, please: Can I set Windows to default to the Windows 7 Basic color theme? In other words, can I opt out of the transparent borders/"glass" appearance? If so, I assume this require changing my "theme." I don't use any of the themes included with Windows; I use a background image (a jpg found online and saved in C:\users\owner\appdata\roaming\microsoft\internet explorer), and I manually arrange my desktop icons/folders/shortcuts. If I select one of the built-in themes, such as Windows 7 Basic (thinking perhaps this might solve the problem under discussion), would I be able to continue to ALSO use my preferred background (a grid of white lines on black; stretched to fix the monitor)?

Thanks.

I don't have any issues with cd6 ?

Yeah but.........

If I switch to Windows Classic theme, will I still be able to use my grid background "ON TOP" of it (please see my previous post)?

Thanks.

Ok, I'll try it and let you know if the Windows Classic theme solves the problem with PaintShop Pro.

Thanks.

I set Windows to the Windows Classic 7 Theme, started PaintShop Pro 9, and it still popped up a message that the color scheme was being changed to Windows 7 Basic.

Sigh.

Thanks for the suggestion, though.
