thank you Brink for that link it seems to have done the job nicely.
and to Rick Rogers I have no idea what keeps causing this unless it has to
do with paintshop pro X, X1 and X2 being on the same machine and sharing the
same folders for the plugins ect. The last program i put on was Photoshop CS3
and that was over a week before. I willl certainly keep my eyes ope to see if
I can find out what causes it but i thank you all for your help and I have
bookmarked the link that Brink gave me in case i need it again.
