I was remiss in describing my system with the problem:
Win 7, 6 GB mem, AMD Athlon II X2 250 cpu.
Not the fastest but not the slowest either. Works fine once it is running. When there is a Program Close issue the %CPU meter is fairly low (15%) when compared to when the program initializes properly (spikes at 85%). Memory usage is about 33%.
Personally I think you are trying to do too much with this setup.
A RAW file will be a lot bigger than 6GB and even a .jpg file could be 1 gig. Then Windows requires a min 2GB (free) to run. Not sure how RAM hungry Paintshop is, but it does require a lot, especially on startup.
Anyway, will be interested to see what 'fix' you end up with.
