If you have Linux installed on another drive (dual boot) in your
machine, I found that running Pagestream from Wine solves all my
problems, including printing. I too have Win10 on my winboxes. I have
not tried it from a virtulized Linux, but I will very soon. All my
installs are 64 bit.

PageStream on Linux still work, even though the years go by. Maybe
that's the solution? I'm working on Linux Debian Jessie.
Win10 works on Virtual Machine under Linux host too. I use it.

Hello Mel ^^)

Damn'd winblows !

Did you made a safe copy of all your pagestream documents ? if not do it
now on an external drive...

Then I would urge you to :

- go to update preferences of w10 and choose to not doing any update
without your prior consent (NO automatic updates anymore !)
- make a rollback updates of win10 to the day before pagestream cease to
work and reboot.
- try to open a pagestream document that was not openable before, if it
works again do all the pdf conversions you could of your hard work and
backup it on the external drive (and keep the original pagestream docs !).

- and if you can : kill win10 (after all backup of your other personal
datas) and reinstall windoh! 7 on you computer, keeping the net
disconnect all the time the install runs, and after the first boot go to
auto-updates prefs and kill it (look for updates and let me choose if it
should be installed) windoh! will cry about all sort of "it's not safe,
let me do it automatically, etc...." but let it shout.

doing so will prevent the automatic re-download of win10 on your drive
and the habitual blue screens of death (bsod) that that updates will
throw to your face for forcing you to make the win10 update again.

Best regards,
JF

Please stop with blaming Windows. It's more a PageStream thing together with Windows. It happens on 7, Vista, 8 and 10. Somehow the Pagestream5.ini file is written badly. That's all. Only that file is very difficult to find.

B.T.W. PageStream is working correct again at Mel.

Now I'm educated . I'll look for that sucker

 

Windows 10 is a major improvement in performance. I think the problem is with PageStream5 as I don't think it is upgraded on a regular schedule. I am amazed that Deron has gone this long with the program. I always used in my work but used the Amiga version. Just wish that Deron could be cloned and continue the great program. I have used other desktop publishing programs on Windows that work well with Windows but they just don't compare with PageStream. I prefer to keep Windows 10 up to date as I need Windows in my work and 10 has great performance.
