PM65 freezes when rotating text

[tracuser]

I am having problems with flipping or rotating both text and images. The pc freezes (especially when zooming in and out). This used to not happen. What can I do to prevent this?

Hi, tracuser,

At the risk of being unhelpful, it could be almost anything, especially if you are using Win98.

You could try reducing the Graphics hardware acceleration to zero, and if that seems to work then odds on your vid card driver is the culprit.

Have you updated any other driver recently? Mouse? Keyboard? Added any new hardware?

I'm working with Win ME and haven't added any hardware. Seem like it might occur more when I pull an old zipped file from a disk that has a rotated piece in it. Once I open it I can delete the piece and pm6.5 works okay. But I not sure if thats all it is.
Thanks for the tip about the acceleration, I'll try that.

Hi, tracuser,

> Win ME

Probably the worst version of windows ever, and Adobe do not support Pm6.5 on WinME.

The official advice is to upgrade to PM7 which is good value at £59 or €95 or the equivalent in your local money.

I had a version of PM 7.0, hadn't installed due to customer not having it, but have now installed it. Also turned Graphics acceleration to zero and still having the problem.
Please help.

Hi, tracuser,

Sorry to hear it's so problematic.

Like I said at the beginning, it could be anything. The full troubleshooting guide is at:
