PageMaker

[Guest]

I didn't see any FAQ regarding PageMaker.  I am unable to load my CD into Windows 7.  I paid over $600.00 for the program.  Does this mean I have to re-purchase it??  That just isn't right.

CherlyeDKing how are you unable to load the CD?  Do you receive an error message?  Does it just eject?  Does your computer not have an optical drive?

[Guest]

No, when the menu comes up for installing the application, Windows just won’t let me select it.

[Jeffrey_A_Wright]

So you are unable to click on the install button?  According to the system requirements we haven't tested Pagemaker 7.0 with anything beyond Windows XP.  So it is certainly possible you may run into a variety of issues installing under Windows 7.

Do you have a screen shot which you can provide of the install screen you are unable to click on?

[Guest]

How do I take a screen shot?

[Jeffrey_A_Wright]

Press the print screen button and then utilize an image editor to paste the image into.  Once you have pasted in the image you can then save it as a jpg.  Once you have a jpg you can then click on the camera button within the forum to post your image.

I just sent it as a ‘snip it’. Did you get it?

[Jeffrey_A_Wright]

No I did not.  You will want to click the camera button in your reply post to upload your image.

CherylDKing the camera icon is located at the top of the area you are typing into when responding through the forum.

You have got to be the most patient person on earth!  I'm sorry, I was replying to you via my email program.  I'll try this again.

[Guest]

Did I do it right this time? I sincerely appreciate your patience. If there is a way to vote you the ‘most informed’ person as well as the most tolerant, I VOTE FOR YOU!

(I don’t know if I should be responding via this email or the forum)

Yes Cheryl your screenshot came through successfully.  It appears you are looking at the autoplay screen.  If you click on Install PageMaker 6.5 it should launch the installation program.  If that doesn't work you can also try right clicking on the CD, in the Computer window, and attempting to locate Setup.exe.

Thank you for the compliment btw it is appreciated.

Jeff~

I have clicked every option in the list. Didn’t work. There isn’t a SET-UP, but there is AutoRun.Exe, AutoRun.Inf, and Install.Pdf. Needless to say, I’ve tried them all. I don’t know what else to try.

p.s.

I don’t just sling compliments willy-nilly. You earned it!

[Jeffrey_A_Wright]

If you click the Install Pagemaker 6.5 it should invoke the installer for you.  Unfortunately I don't have access to the physical Pagemaker media.  Do you have any folders on the disc besides the Autorun.exe, Autorun.inf, and Install.pdf?  The setup.exe should be in a folder with a title related to Pagemaker.

[Guest]

No, I looked for a set-up file, but there isn’t one. And as I had said, there is no action when I try to click on the Install (or any of the others). When I try to check out the Autorun it gives me a bunch of garbage that is not legible. Should I just give up?

[Jeffrey_A_Wright]

No another user reported being able to install Pagemaker 7.0 under Windows 7.  They did run into issues with the postscript driver but that would be expected due to all the changes which have been made in the way printer drivers work in Windows Vista/7.

Could you possibly post a screenshot of what you see within the disc?

[Guest]

I sent it with the ‘snipping’ tool. If you don’t get it, I’ll go to the forum.

[Jeffrey_A_Wright]

I don't think your snipping tool is compatible with the forum.  If you can please click on the link to the thread and use the camera button to post your image it would be appreciated.

[Guest]

It won't let me post it.  "Content of this type is not allowed"

[Jeffrey_A_Wright]

Cheryl you will want to utilze the camera button and then select your jpg image.  I have included an image of what you are looking for in this post.

[Guest]

Jeff~

I’ve been trying to email you for 2 days. I guess what I was sending was too big. How do you delete an email in the process of being sent?

Anyway, I understand what you want. I’ll go to the ‘forum’ and do my best.

[Guest]

Jeff,

I just can't seem to do it.  It won't let me take a picture of it.  "Invalid"

I'm sorry for wasting your time.  You are a real good person and we really tried.

Thanks,

Cheryle

[Jeffrey_A_Wright]
