Just recently I defragged my hard drive with Norton Utilities ... now when I start Painter, as it goes thru the startup routine, it puts up all these notices that certain variants ... Add Grain, Brightness/Contrast,Fire, Glow, etc. cant be loaded because the variants couldnt be found...the program continues to load and run...but these variants are in gray (not available) This happened to me once before about a year ago, and I fixed it by replacing one of the items in the Painter folder...but now I cant remember what it was (and there's so many) and I'm now spending my day trying to figure it out...Yes I tried reinstalling Painter but still the same messages.
Appreciate any suggestions...running Painter 5.0 on a 5200 PowerMac...
