i have a 12" powerbook g4, os x 10.4.11(all updated and current just prior to installation of painter x). i looked at the minimum system requirements for Painter X and i think i'm ok-but i don't really understand this stuff so here is info copied from system profiler and below that minimum requirements(from the Corel site):

the first time i installed painter x i think i just deleted the painter IX.5 folder from the applicaions folder(the "read me" file said to install X in a "new" file-i don't really know what that means). all went well untill after i installed and registered it and then repaired permissions. and started messing around. then it started crashing so i:
~created a new account, logged into it and Painter X crashed several times
~deleted everything from Corel Painter IX.5 & X including:
home>library>preferences>any file that related to corel
home>library>application support>Corel folder
home>applications>Corel Painter Folder
~searched spotlight for anything with "Corel" and deleted it
~searched spotlight for anything with "Painter" and deleted it if related to the application
~i repaired permissions and verified disk with Disk Utility(both were ok)
~i ran my applecare TechTool disk and everything passed- i did skip one test- the one that takes an hour+ to complete-
~reinstalled Painter X to my applications folder- Installer said that the installation was successful
~registration with Corel was successful- received thankyou email with link to free learning videos
~it started crashing almost immediately(after 3-4 minutes of fiddling with an image cloned a .jpeg image
~i went through and deleted everything i could find regarding Painter X(again) except i renamed & saved the last crashreporter log if anyone wants to see it
one thing to note: this is an educational copy of Corel Painter X - disc with serial # only(from amazon)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
this computer is specifically for my art and i will do/ try just about anything to get Painter X to work including a clean reinstall of os x if necessary -as a last resort.
i am so grateful for any help!
thank you in advance")
