I found when we use PageMaker 6.5 on XP machines I have had to give my users power users right. I set up a class such as yearbook in active directory and list all the students that will be in that class. Give yearbook power users rights and that should do it. It has helped for me. Yeartech also has some ideas for rights under its help tab.

I tried the most recent update to 6.52 PageMaker and I can't see any evidence that it installed at all. Ran the .exe file, and something seemed to happen, but no way to tell. Jostens isn't recommending InDesign at this time. Software is too new. I'm about ready to reformat the hard drive and reinstall everything from the start to see if something got installed wrong. I may also upgrade to PageMaker 7 on all 3 machines. Any more ideas would be appreciated. B. Ney - N. Kossuth Drill down file--preferences There is an option that allows you to bring up your graphics in three modes, grayed, standard, and high resolution. I'd imagine it's in the first one. InDesign is the next in the series for Pagemaker, doubt that it would work with 98 unless you have tons of memory.
