Hello Deron,

5.0.5.8 starts and I see the menu.
I can change preferences and save them. They are anywhere but nowhere to find (of course hidden files are visible and I use the windows-search-engine).

When I generate a new file or open an existing they were opened anywhere in the right down corner outside the displayed window. After moving scroll-sliders to display it 5.0.5.8 crashes. (I wrote that before.)

In my XP I find two PageStream5.ini-files. One at 5.0.1.37-folder, other one with 5.0.4.4.

What shall I do now?

Ciao,

Peter alias

Hallo Peter,

and because I can't believe this (not saying that you are wrong!), did
you also did this for XP:

/If you want to see all file name extensions, clear the //*Hide file
extensions for known file types*//check box./ If you clear this, you
should be able to see the extensions (like ini for PageStream5.ini, or
PageStream5.exe instead of PageStream5)./
/
I state this, because I do not know if XP shows you all if you do a search.
Explicit search for PageStream5.ini!

As PGS detective Wink I see evidence that there is a PageStream5.ini! The
'/When I generate a new file or open an existing they were opened
anywhere in the right down corner outside the displayed window./' gave
it away!

Theo

Peter,

Going back to your original issue, I believe you will find that the page
did open, but it opens up off the screen. After opening a file, look at
the scrolls bars and scroll to the right and down. The page will come
into view.
