Hi Scrubdesigngz,

I think your problem is similar to what mine was in terms of the slowness - I put it down to some Malware or Virus - searched the net high and low. Already use Malware premium and Avast. No improvement. Than I came across a rather expensive tool RegHunter, I decided to buy this and ran it. After I had continuously used the previous ones mentioned - this software came up with a genuine 996 rectifiable issues - ran for about 5 hours before it had completed its scan. I elected to remove errors as per the software - the improvement in my computers performance was remarkably noticeable.
Hope this helps.
I am a newcomer to Photo Paint Pro x7 and have a few questions in this regard... is this the right forum to ask for assistance?
