Hi i have been useing corel photo paint x3 for some time now i use it to edit things that i put up on my companies website, and now for the past 2 weeks when i open it it just does nothing at all! and it opens up to the rgualr screen with the grey backround and it will not let me click on anything not even the exit button or the tab in the menu bar! so to exit it out i have to go to the task manager. and i have uninstalled it and reinstalled it twice already it does nothing! corel draw works perfectly its just the photo paint one that wont turn on! and i need this program to do my work, could someone please help me because i have no idea where to go next. thankyou.
This is strange since you have reinstalled the program. Actually are you using a trial version that may have expired date?
During the installation process was there some abnormality? Or: changed the operating system to Win7?
Please provide details.

No, i do not have a trial version,I have the actual software. ive been useing the disc. and no, i did not notice any abnormalities, exept for when i uninstalled it told me the uninstalation could not be compleated unless i exited out these programs it had listed, but i did not even have them open so i just pressed continue.
They may have been running in the background as a process.
Open up TASK MANAGER (ctrl-alt-del) and look at the list of programs running under the Processes tab.
End any that look extraneous to what you want to run.
For instance in mine, Incredimail will quite often have 3 or more processes of itself running... just because it doesn't let go of Windows or Windows doesn't completely let go of it when I shut what is admittedly a resource hog of a mail program down.
Also, clean out your C:\Windows\Temp directory (not C:\Temp)... it could be seriously bogging Windows down as well. Windows is supposed to clean this out all on its own, or the Program being run, but it doesn't get cleaned out often enough or thoroughly.
These two things should be done anyway, even if they don't solve your immediate problem.
