Im having a problem dragging out brushes from the Brush Toolbar to create a custom pallete like i can on MAC at school.
Has anyone ever had this problem on PC? if so how do i resolve it, so i dont have to keep sorting through brush libraries?
Thanks

Hi,
If you haven't already, download the Painter 8.1 patch and install it.
Also download the new Painter 8 User Guide available along with the Painter 8.1 patch at:
ftp://ftp.corel.com/pub/Painter/8.1
After you install the Painter 8.1 patch, read the CorelPainter8UserGuide.pdf to learn how to create and use Custom Palettes:
Open the CorelPainter8UserGuide.pdf and click the Bookmarks tab in the left panel. Click the plus sign to the left of Workspace then click Creating Custom Palettes and you'll see the instructions displayed in the right panel.
Here are the instructions for Uninstalling and reinstalling Painter 8, and installing the Painter 8.1 patch:
1. Move any files you created into a backup folder somewhere outside of the Painter 8 folders.
2. Uninstall Painter 8.
3. Manually delete any remaining Painter 8 folders and files.
4. Reboot.
5. Install Painter 8 and don't open it even one time.
6. Install the Painter 8.1 patch.
7. Reboot.
8. Launch Painter 8.1 and check to see that the patch installation worked. To do this, click Help > About Corel Paiinter 8. At the bottom of the splash screen where you see small text, you should see Version 8.1 at the end of the top line of small text.
9. Now drag a brush category or brush variant icon onto the Painter 8.1 screen. That should automatically create a new Custom Palette named Custom 1.
10. To delete the test Custom Palette, click Window > Custom Palettes and choose Organizer from the flyout menu.
11. In the Custom Palette Organizer dialog box, highlight Custom 1 and click the Delete button.
If you see Version 8.1 on the splash screen and were able to create a test Custom Palette, the Painter 8.1 patch should have been installed correctly.
Good luck!

Is there a patch for Painter 9 also, or is 9 all the way updated?

I downloaded both of the patches from ftp://ftp.corel.com/pub/Painter/8.1/win/en/ and tried to follow the instructions as follows:
4. Reboot.
5. Install Painter 8 and don't open it even one time.
6. Install the Painter 8.1 patch.
When i try to install the patch i get this message from Windows Installer which does not let me proceed to install the patch.
I have checked that the software had been installed correctly for Painter 8, but i still get the same message.
What do i do now, if i cannot get past this point?
Thanks,
Chris

Which update/patch file did you download (the full name of the file)?
The update/patch file that includes "TBYB" in its name is not the one you should download.
Read through my instructions again to make sure your didn't skip a step.
That's all I can think of.
If you want more help, post your question on the Corel Painter newssgroups.
