about
My name's Jennifer, but I'm more commonly known as Jen or Sporkster. I love lots of things/people including God; volleyball and soccer, my two favorite sports; and cheese. I also love Pi, but that's a story for another day.
I've been answering questions on Advicenators for over three years now, so I'm pretty experienced with it. I love answering questions and helping you out anyway I can, so if you've got a question, just ask me!
Ask me about: Christianity, athletics, physical fitness, love-life, relationships, friendships, HTML queries, book suggestions, music suggestions, musical theory, history, English (or Spanish) grammar, Paint Shop Pro 8, skin problems, sports injuries, "punk" fashion, nutrition, etc.

Q: I used to have Paint Shop Pro that someone burned for me but I felt guilty for using it because I knew how illegal that was. I deleted it & decided I would just download the trial because I knew that I had money coming so I could *buy* the full version. Needless to say, I was unable to successfully download the trial version. Near the end of the downloading process, this is what happens:
Error 1931. The Windows Installer service cannot update the system file C:\WINDOWS\...\msvcp60.dll because the file is protected by Windows. You may need to update your operating system for this program to work correctly.
Then I click okay and it continued downloading...
Then another box comes up that says: Files that are required for Windows to run properly have been replaced with unrecognized versions. To maintain system stability, Windows must restore the original versions of these files. Insert your Windows XP Home Edition CD-ROM now.
The only problem is, I never got that CD-ROM. My computer came with Windows XP & I never got a disk with it.
Then I click Cancel... & obviously that is unsuccessful because it comes up again but I click cancel on that.
Then one last box comes up and says: Error 1933. This setud requires Internet Information Server 4.0 or higher for configuring IIS Virtual Roots. Please make sure that you have IIS 4.0 or higher.
I click okay & the installation rolls back action.
I had this program before, it's just when I tried downloading it, it wasn't working. I've tried everything, different versions from different sources. I'm going crazy trying because I love this program & I use it alot. If you anyone could help me I would give you the highest rating ever & deffinetly owe you one because I'm in desperate need of help! ♥
A: If you're having this many problems with downloading the trial version, just give up on downloading it. PSP, though not the best graphic editing software, is a really good program. Go ahead and buy the whole shabang at your local Best Buy. The last time I checked, they had this $30 (or was it $50?) for PSP. So it would end up costing you around $70, $80. If you're going to be using it for awhile, it's definitely worth it to buy the program.
If you don't want to buy it, keep trying to figure out what's going wrong with downloading the trial version. Are you downloading it to the right folder? Do you have enough disk space? Is the software compatable with your computer? Chances are there's probably just a tiny little thing you're doing wrong that's messing up the whole download. Try downloading it again and going through the previously mentioned list to make sure you're doing everything right.
I'd still go ahead and buy the software, though. I hope this advice helps you, and if you've got any more questions you'd like to ask, shoot!
(Rating: 5) Thanks alot! You really helped out. ♥
