I have been using Photopaint 8 for at least 15 years now, and I am very used to it. It is still compatible with the Windows XP that I run. But lately I have been getting this error, only when I try to rotate an object:
PHOTOPAINT Condition #1000-MSEL-1192
A problem occurred accessing memory. Please refer to Techical Support Help
Sometimes it doesn't occur, but when it does, there doesn't seem to be anything I can change to fix it, including rebooting the computer. that's the only time it happens, rotating an object, either with the mouse control button, or in the object command drop-down menu.
Second question. If I were to update my operating system to Windows 8, would this or other issues be more likely or less likely?
Third question: If I want to update my photo art program, what would be the most similar current software program to Photopaint 8, for a home user? I don't need animation or a lot of other bells and whistles.

Your problem may be either insufficient memory or a possible bad memory cell. Judging from your O/S and the Graphics Suite version, I am guessing that this is an older machine. In which case, you may try to remove and reseat the memory modules and see if that helps, if it does, then you could mark up this error to dirty contacts on the memory module interface connector.
If you do decide to update, perhaps the current X6 H&S (Home and Student) version is what would satisfy your needs. Only you can determine that.
Thanks for the advice. How do I remove and reseat the memory modules? Do I do that in Photopaint, or in Windows somehow? I have one gig of ram which is usually enough. It's funny how sometimes I go for days without this problem, then when it happens, it is unfixable until it decides on it's own to fix itself.
I will check out the features of X6 H&S.
Hello Rick; I THINK Hugh & Harry gave you good advice. I would tell you to remove the power cord from the computer. ( there is 110 Volt going to the power switch.) And it is a good idea to touch any none painted surface for a count of 5, to get rid of the static ele. There is a screen shot below. The little gold contacts are what you need to make good contact.
