Hi Eric,

you have to delete Pagestream5.ini in C:\Documents and
Settings\{username}\Application Data\PageStream5\
See on page:http://www.pagestream.org/?action=Documents&id=82

Maybe you should make a copy of Pagestream5.ini before that, so you
could put the good stuff in the brand new Pagestream5.ini.

Why this behavior happens (not showing documents), I don't know.
But that PGS is doing the same for you, even that you installed it new,
is that this Pagestream5.ini is still on your system!

Good luck!

Theo

Thanks Theo,

You solved my problem too. I couldn't drag anything on the document.

I didn't know I was helping you too, Richard!
Mmm, you couldn't drag anything? You couldn't move (drag?) an
illustration to another place? You couldn't copy text/illustration and
paste text/illustrations to another place (see below)? Or? (I am not
familiar with dragging)

The way things are organized in PGS 5 is great. If you install a new PGS
5, it looks and feels like your 'old PGS 5'. Only when something other
is happening, like disappearing documents (not really disappearing, but
extremely small and on an awkward place) or disappearing toolboxes,
toolbars, it is also saved in Pagestream5.ini (each time you close PGS).

So, if PGS or Windows XX (or any other platform) is doing something
wrong when you close PGS, it is saved there (Pagestream5.ini). You can
change Pagestream5.ini by hand, it's just a text file.
So, if you don't know where to look for, you better delete
Pagestream5.ini all the same, and start again to let PGS do the things
you want it to do (you are quiet relieved when you see all your
documents again!). You don't need to install PGS again, just deleting
Pagestream5.ini, and PGS is brandnew.

But what I (!) don't get is this on Windows (7):
am I the only one where PGS sometimes (!) doesn't want to load any
document with a shred of text on it (yes, it loads a document with only
an illustration or a new document). Or sometimes (!) doesn't want to
copy or paste (one of those, probably paste: text and illustrations).
I can use PGS 5.0.5.7 at the same time (not side by side with 5.0.5.8,
but that is 'normal'. PGS doesn't allow you to have a second PGS open).
The only way to have a fully functional 5.0.5.8 again, is to restart my
computer.
I seem to be the only one who complained about this. And that is, for me
(and Deron), strange! Where to look for if it is a one person (PGS) only
problem.

Anyway, I hope that this (mis-)behavior is straightened out in the next
update of PGS. Deron?

Theo

Hi Theo,

I was following the thread and your suggestion to the other fellow sounded
like something I should try and lo and behold... it work. Yes I could not move
or drag anything. I was resorting to using <gasp> MS Word, Libre Writer, or
Scribus for my needs. I much perfer Pagestream. I have been using it since the
2.2 days when I switched from ProPage (which wasn't half bad in its later
edition).

So thank you for your words of wisdom. You and a couple others on this list
are why I am still here.

God bless you.
