Unable to start PM6.5 from Icon or *.exe file

[papajoe]

Can't get PM6.5 to startup. Have uninstalled and deleted directory several times--still no luck on opening program after reinstalling from Run or Control Panel. Receive the following message: "Cannot start PageMaker Unable to load DLL for this screen.. 8027 6623...
Any ideas or sugestions?

I tried Len's recommendation [answering from U.K. in another PageMaker Tech Support forum]about reducing number of Fonts without effect.
Here's how I stumbled into a good fix: Go to Windows..click on Help. Type in "troubleshoot"..Go to "I receive the following error message: Display Problems." Click at the bottom on "Next."
If your PC is already set at 256 Colors..Click on "No", Cick "Next," [follow instructions carefully]..
Click on Start," point to "Settings,"
Cick "Control Panel" and double click on "Display."
Click the "Settings" tab and then Cick on "Advanced."
At the "Performance" tab click the slider bar to lower the "Hardware Acceleration" setting to "None."
Choose OK, and then "Reboot your PC."
This solved the problem for me and I was able to open Page Maker 6.5+ without further difficulty.
