From a 30 plus years of computer engineer and company owner, there's no real reason to berate this person. A simple suggestion that some basic computer user training would be in their best interest. I understand support can be a frustrating job, but it doesn't help the user.

Not about backups but, I downloaded & installed Paintshop Pro 2019 Ultimate & it invaded & took over most of my other programs. If I click on, say Picassa, PSP opens. If I click on My Printer, PSP opens. WTH did I do?!?! How do I make it stop?

First, you must know I know very little about hard drive back up, as I have allways used Carbonite. So my question is-- If I back up my photos with a Seagate hard drive, will a copy of the photos remain on the computer? Pardon my ignorance.

please excuse my ignorance regarding the use of an external hard drive. My career was spent in cardiovascular implant technology. Can you please explain the cardiac retrograde electric circulation mechanism post MI which leads to VF? I didn't think so!! We all have our own expertise. Mine is not External Hard drive usage. That's why I have used Carbonite.I asked for help as a result, not snotty comments.

This kind of behavior is uncalled for. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Yes, I thought we got rid of that sort of behaviour about a year ago. Fortunately, there are few like that around these days.

PSP has set Windows to open a .jpg file by default, right click on a ,jpg file and select open with, choose the programme you want to use and then check always use this programme.

What version of Windows are you using? The program obviously reset a default on installation. At lot of programs like to think they are soooo important that they include this change in their default installation process. But it is easily fixed.

You'll get better responses posting this as a separate topic: Paintshop Pro Problems.

Please try to keep in mind that not everyone uses PCs where things are simple and clean. Apple, for instance, has some bizarre iCloud process that makes it seem that if you remove a file from anywhere it will be removed everywhere. Apple desires to control everything and is willing to make foolish decisions for you to maintain that control.
