Pop-up (nag screen) causing PSP X5 to freeze

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE

I have PSPx5 on Windows8 Toshiba laptop. Up until a few days ago, all worked well then I started getting a nag screen announcing PsPx6  or saying ‘Photo tip – late to bed early to rise’ and I could not get it to go away. Neither the X in the upper right corner nor the close button would get rid of it. The only way to get rid of it was to restart the computer. Anything I started in PSP that had not been saved was lost. Irritating. Is there a way to stop these nag screens? They seem to include hint screens devoid of hints. But the freezing continues and PSP X5 cannot be used. I have tried to contact Corel but cannot get through to them. Any suggestions?
