Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7


The help is not Win7 compatible.  The help fix is required.

Also the help system runs a macro that ordinarily does not work and throws the error

There was a problem running the macro (1037)

An additional registry key is required to fix this problem

HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Mircosoft\WinHelp

AllowProgrammaticMacros   DWORD   1


If virtualising the key can be placed in the bubble.

Also note that when virtualised, the file association controls on the preferences menu in this application will no work.  This is because the relevant registry changes get written inside the bubble and do not affect the system.
