PSP randomly shutting down., Usually only when I try to crop pictures. Options

I think I'm posting this in the right place

I've had this problem with my psp for awhile (I have 8 LOL but I still like it). It only started happening around the start of this year.

When I open a picture, and try to crop it, psp will just shut down. At first I thought it was that maybe the file size of the picture was too large, but it has happened with cell phone pics, and other small pics as well. I tried finding out if other people had similar problems, and I read somewhere that if you run the program as an administrator, it will fix it. I do that everytime now, and at first it worked, but about a couple days later I tried cropping a picture and it shut down again.

It doesn't do this everytime I try to crop pictures, but I'd say in a week, 3/5 times I use psp it will shut down. It's really irritating and I haven't been able to fix it or even find out why it's doing that. Is it because ver. 8 is too old or something?

Any help is appreciated.

Ok, I just tested this out and things are moving slightly smoother for me. I don't know how it will work for you, but there's no harm in trying.

Go through your "My PSP Files" folder and clear out anything you don't need, especially brushes. I guess the program is just not "powerful" enough to hold too much.
