"When I installed the program it changed ALL my gifs and jpegs to a different format. I had tons of them. Some of this stuff is business related. Anyway I can't seem to find anything about installation procedures. I don't want my gifs or jpegs to be changed." Answers 1.
when I installed--
PSP didn't actually change your files, but it did change your file associations (i.e. Windows 95/98 associates the file extension (html, doc, jpeg, gif, doc, xls, etc.) on your file with a program so when you double click on a file the program that the file is associated with or created with automatically opens. Double click an html file your browser will open; double click on a doc file, Word opens; double click on a xls file, Excel opens, etc.). You can remove the PSP associations by going to File > Preferences > File Format Associations and removing the checkmarks from the file types that you don't want to associate with PSP. Unfortunately, this does not restore your original associations. To associate a file type with a program Right click your Start button and select Explore. Navigate to a folder that has a gif or a jpg file in it. Hold down your Shift Key and Right click the file. Select Open With from the menu. In the Open With dialog box find the program that you want to view or manipulate the file with and select it, then check the box that says Always use this program to open this type of file and click ok.
Clean that Register! This is information received from a Jasc Technician. *Please Note: You will have to reset any changes you made to your tool bars and may have to reset your preferences. As PSP7 is used more and more, the register builds up and problems start to occur, such as tool bars disappearing, ants disappearing, etc. The way to clean your register is simple and usually cures the above type problems.
1. Hold two fingers directly over the Ctrl and Alt keys.

Open animation shop and do the following (in this example we are using a doll):
2. Open your animated sig in Animation Shop.
3. If your animated sig has say 6 frames, duplicate your doll pic until it is also the exact same number of frames as the animated sig. (Right click on your doll pic and select 'duplicate selected'... do this until you have the correct amount of frames.)
4. Click on your animated sig, then go to Edit, Select All. Right click on the animated sig and select copy.
5. Click on your doll with the duplicated frames. Go to Edit, Select All. Right click on the first doll frame and select Paste, Into Selected Frame. When your cursor is in the first frame you will see the first frame of your animated sig. Move it to where you want it to be and left-click. This places each frame of your animated sig, into each frame of the doll frames you created.
