You don't say how you are starting the photo edit but if you right-click
an image file and select 'Open with' and then 'Choose default program'
you can select or browse for PaintShop Pro. Note the 'Always use' tick
box.
Reading between the lines on the Corel site version X2 Ultimate might be
the first fully Vista compatible version.
Personally I have 'Preview' (by Photo Gallery) as the double-click
action and use the 'Open with' context list to start PaintShop Pro when
needed.

Start - Default Programs - Associate a file type or protocol with a specific
program. Select the appropriate extension and set the default program to the
program you want.

I've got PSP 8 in Vista Home Premium. I made that the default (as Tyro
suggested to you.) Works fine.
