Problem running photopaint version 9 in windows-10

I have been using Corel Graphics Suite version 9 under windows-10 which I had obtained as an upgrade from Windows-7 and the only problem I'd noticed was that the eraser and other tools would 'jerk' up and to the left when activated by pushing the left mouse button.

I just re-installed windows-10, a clean install from an iso downloaded from MS and the first time I installed Corel Graphics Suite v9, everything seemed to work as it had under win-10 upgrade. Of course, the help wouldn't work so I applied a 'fix' involving a script run as admin. After that CGS wouldn't run until troubleshot for compatibility and run in win-xp SP3 mode. Now all seems to run but photopaint is FULL SCREEN with no minimize 'button' or resize button or menu toolbar.

I will try other compatibility settings because I think I saw that originally it was pre-XP.

Any help appreciated.

  • Hi Forrest,

    The upwards jerk of brushes is due to settings in Windows. Photopaint follows these setting rather than the ones displayed on the screen.

    In Windows 7, they can be reset via Windows Color and Appearance.

    I'll post details and my settings if you are interested.
