Corel Video Studio X4 & Paint Shop Pro X4

Whose bright idea was it clean these 2 programs?

Now, the Corel guide button (top right of both X4 program interfaces) refuses to work, and I cannot check for updates either (Help>Check for Updates).

Thanks.

Try pressing shift key when clicking on the program shortcut to reset workspace.

saad might be able to help you, he seems to use it a lot.

This didn't work.

It looks like some necessary folders/files (i.e. not junk) have been deleted.

Wonderful (!)

I have Corel VideoStudio X4 with SP1 installed. I use this entry in CCleaner, no problem at all. I am able to check for updates using (Help and Product Information>Check For updates).

I have made a snapshot and when I try to upload here it says failed. Size is only 218kb

still can't upload here.

I just tested Corel PaintShop Pro X4 also, no issue at all. All the buttons you mentioned, working fine. I am able to check for updates.

The issue must lie somewhere else.

Hmmm... I've restored the contents of the following folder from a back up:

C:\Documents and Settings\MIKE\Application Data\Corel\Messages.

The restored Messages folder contains 1408 files within 464 folders - more importantly the Help and product information button is working (for both VSX4 & PSPX4)

After running CCleaner, the Messages folder now contains 3 files (each called Message.policy) within 3 folders (540244232_807001, 540226262_810007 & 540222514_410003) and the Help and product information button now does not work.

??

I have tried both the programs on Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit systems, no problem at all. Help and product information button is working fine.

In-product messages are just advertisements from Corel and its third-party marketing partners. Deleting these messages are completely safe.

Hmm... I got the boxed version of VideoStudio X4 from Amazon.co.uk, and PaintShop Pro X4 direct from Corel.

I'll try an unistall/reinstall of both programs to see if that helps.

Although I only use the Help and product information button occasionally, I cant be doing with things not working correctly.

Thanks.

I am sorry I didn't mean to say that. I have edited my previous post.
