For some reason if I group some tasks by status and then go to print them the colors of the summary tasks turn black rather than the baby blue. Can someone help? this is an issue for my reporting.

Here is a link below showing what it looks like in project, then in print preview.

If you change the background of the group, does it correct itself? You may need two views -- one for printing -- and one for viewing online.

WHat do you mean change the background of the group? Seems to not happen if I group by critical. If I group by resource or status it happens. I cant for the life of me find where to fix this.
 
Not sure what caused this. No matter what I did it would not resolve. I finally went into the organizer and deleted those groups from my project. Then when I used them again they copied from the global template and everything is good again. I still get a MS project crash every few times when doing a print preview while grouped by resource.

 
I tried to install SP1 and I just get an error saying that it doesnt apply to my system. Not sure if that means I already have it or what?
 
Are you installing the correct version? You may all ready have it installed - check File > Help and click the link for "Additional Version and Copyright Information".
 
Hi,
(sorry for my poor english...)
Looks like you do not have enough memory:
- either your printer (should have more than 2Mo RAM, since Project 95!...)
- and/or your PC (better > 2,5 Mo RAM if no graphic card, or 2Mo + >1Mo on graphics card)

Solutions :
For printer: try another one, or go through any PDF creator-like before printing
For PC : use a PC with more RAM or Reset it without opening any other aplication.
In case that does not work, tell us.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Victor but this isnt the problem. I think the settings for my group styles got corrupted somehow. Once I copied them over from the global template the problem was resolved.
