I have two physical printers installed (one of which has 3 separate incarnations in the control panel printer settings - each with a different type of driver), plus I have a handful of virtual printers (eg. adobe pdf, xps document printer, etc). I tried your suggestion below as well as changing the default printer. I've also made sure my system is up to date with the latest Microsoft updates and also made sure my video card driver was up to date. Even with all that - and having to reboot more times than I care to in a day - the same problem: open a 2007, 2008 or 2009 file in 2010, try to edit in speedy entry and upon exiting speedy entry, problems as previously described happen and I can't use the program. In addition to XML files saved in 2009 also giving me the same errors, templates (as one might expect) created in 2009 also give me the same problems. I've also discovered that doing any note entry via simple entry in such files gives me the same problems. Oh well. On the one hand I hope I'm not the only one with this problem as that means it is so obscure a problem I may never see a fix but on the other hand I don't want others to have to go through what I'm going through. At least I can start from scratch without a problem.
