After a total reinstall of Windows 7, I finally kinda got PageStream to work. Drove me nuts for a while... however, starting today, AFTER I was able to access most files, suddenly when I try to load previous files... and I get the message to the effect, "Can't load because I can't find the IFFCTX filter". When I check, the file IS in the PageStream/Filters folder. What do I do to let the program see it? I didn't really change anything, why did it choose to not be able to see that folder?

Anyway, all help is greatly appreciated!

I have two files in my Softlogik/Filters folder named IFFCTXT.rsc and
IFFTXT.tfl but no file named IFFCTX. Are you sure of what you've said?

Hi Gil,

I think you've messed up with installing PGS. Seeing what trouble you had.

I do not know what you did. But you better delete the content of your
current PGS-folder.
Then extract PageStream5.0.5.8.zip again in a folder. Leave it there, or
copy the content into the folder you want it to be. That folder can be
anywhere on your harddisks!
I don't recommend it to be in the C:\Program Files or C:, but it can be
in there also (just more problems with rights).

If you didn't delete the content in 'C:\Users\User
Name\AppData\Roaming\PageStream5' your PGS should be working as normal!
Just by double clicking on the PageStream5.exe icon. You can install a
shortcut on the workbench or taskbar form Windows 7.

If that didn't work: delete the content from PageStream5.ini in
C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Roaming\PageStream5 (and see my comment at
http://www.pagestream.org/?action=Documents&id=82.

Good luck!

Theo - I have PGS working on Windows 7 - 64 bits, and had it working on
Windows 7 - 32 bits!

Already did delete the folder, rebooted and extracted PageStream from the file from the PageStream page (just in case the one I had on file was corrupted somehow). Still get the same message. Still says the filter is missing, even though I can go in and see it is there).

Sigh!

have you tried starting pagestream from the command prompt? there should be more information output during startup process. This might give a better clue as to what is really happening.

Mmm, just tried it. It does not give any clue.
Although I have a working PGS.

For anyone to see/follow:

I have my PGS in E:\PageStream folder.

So I opened the command prompt:

After the initial prompt: C:\User\User Name, I typed E:
Like:
C:\User\User Name> E:

Then made my folder PageStream the current directory (cd):
E:\>cd PageStream
(Could be quicker, I know)

Then I run PGS:
E:\PageStream>PageStream5.exe

And PGS started!

FYI: That problem has always been resolved by a reboot of the computer
as far as I know. I'm guessing that something keeps a file lock on the
filter and prevents PageStream from opening it at some point. Most
likely PageStream itself, but not positive.

The colors for a new document are loaded from the default color styles.
Once a document is created, those colors are stored with the document.
If when you created this document initially, you did not have default
color styles, then none would have been loaded into the new document. Or
if you deleted them at some point.

You can "append" the color styles back in, or just create your own new
ones in the document.

So as Deron pointed put: start a new document. Draw something on it, copy it, and place it in your music-document. And lo and behold, you have colors again.
Delete that drawing and you can add colors again.

I have NEVER gotten Pagestream to run on my 64bit Win10 since one of
MS's updates 8-/. I have tried every remedy mention on this M/L with no
joy <sigh>. NOW, Win10 Pagestream works great when I run it from Linux
using WINE. I can even print. Go figure.

it appears that windows update has hosed something. there seems to be
problems with more than pagestream.

Unsure if this might help; I've been tearing my hair out for the past
few weeks over a piece of unrelated satellite network software not
working correctly on a windows 7 box. Following hours of conference
calls between software vendors and support folks in America, Israel, New
Zealand and myself in Antarctica, I eventually discovered the software
would only work as expected when run in administrator mode, despite the
vendors saying that this was not required. Maybe worth a try with PGS
5?

I've only ever used PageStream 4 with my real Amiga and WinUAE, which I
use frequently. Love it.

Cheers,
Anthony.

If this reply is for me, there is no message. I click launch, get a
reaction for a two seconds, then nothing 8-/. Doesn't matter if I
rename the .ini file, or where I try to launch it from, it behaves the
same in all cases. The environment is HP Z600, 2 Xeon 6 core - 12
logical processors, 24GB RAM. As I stated previously, x64 Windows 10
Pro, latest updates. TIA
