I notice the same thing: WinXP thrashing on the hard disk, but none of my programs are doing it. In Task Manager, I noted that FINDFAST.EXE was listed twice, and both of them were using the CPU at various levels -- sometimes a few percent, sometimes 40 or 50 percent, and occassionally near 100...

I'm running in Windows XP Home, a stand-alone machine, plenty of RAM in the PC and the printer, using LPT1. I have the latest driver from GCC -- WinXP compatible. This faint-graphics problem occurs from all programs -- my main concern is with PageMaker 7.01, but I get the same results with other...

I have a GCC XL 1208 B&W laser typesetter (1200 dpi). Handles tabloid size pages. Problem: Text and line art come out fine -- nice and black -- but greyscale photos and graphics (or color ones, for that matter) all print very faint -- so light that they are barely visible. I've tried a new toner...

The problem I have is when I File>Placed PDFs -- the TIFFs and EPSs I use always wowrk fine. I dunno how the PDFs were created, but maybe if they were on Mac systems the PDFs don't view/print properly. It's a mystery. SWilent

In PM7 in Windows, I place ads in my newspaper as PDF files that include text and graphics, then create PDFs of the PM7 pages (Print as PS file, then convert with Distiller). This works fine most of the time, but with some of the PDF files I place, the images disappear after creating a full-page...

Aha! I see the trouble: I used the backslash (\), not the forward slash (/) -- the switch works with the /. And yes, I did use the switch outside of the quotes. Now, to see if the crashing stops.... Thanks!

CorelDraw Essentials (which I understand is basically CorelDraw 9) crashes frequently under both Windows 98 and XP, on several of my machines. No apparent or obvious cause. I hear that MicroSoft Office and its Visual Basic for Applications somehow can cause this. Yes? One bit of advice I've...

I neglected to say that I'm running Win XP Home, and the PC has plenty of memory. The printer has ~14MB if "available PostScript memory". SWilent

Latest trouble; Pages with placed TIFF graphics or PDF files cause printer I/O errors, and the error message says it's the graphics files that's causing the problem. Usually half the page prints and the rest is balnk, or sometimes the page won't print al all (the Comm light on my GCC Elite 1208...

I was and am a "Computer administrator" -- Win XP Home has no Power User level. One thing that mat be a factor: Even with a clean install of Win XP, I noted some trouble with printing after installing my scanner. Maybe that is causing some conflict.... SWilent

Well, Word 2002 may have been affected also. It crashed ofter since I first used it 6 months ago. I installed Office 97, since I like that version of Word. In any case, it ALWAYS the computer -- I NEVER do anything wrong.... SW

Folks, I've solved -- apparently -- all of the problems I listed in the previous messages. The problem was not PageMaker, it was Windows XP. I was so frustrated after two days of trying to resolve this, that I resorted to reformatting and reinstalling a clean copy of XP (after backing up my...

Thanks, Eggles. Yes, it is perplexing. I did try taking a PM7 pub to another machine, and the problems I mentioned didn;t occur. Well, when all else fails, I blame everything on Bill Gates <grin>.... Steve

Yes, that's where the PPDs are. I'm having a number of other problems with PM7: * TIFFs in existing PM7 pubs appear as gray boxes, and I get an error when I try to place a TIFF -- but EPSs and JPEGs place OK. * PM7 is SLOW and eventually crashes -- sometime sit instantly disappears, without...

Upgraded to PageMaker 7.0 6 months ago, and it worked fairly well. Recently, when trying to print to the same PostScript printer I've been using all along, PM7 says it can't find the PPD, or any PPDs, even though the PPDs are installed. Any ideas? SWilent
