Hi Ellie, I know nothing about Flexcolor or 4040 backs, but I am a Mac user and the list seems pretty quite right now, so I'll throw in my two pennies. I'm sure you probably already know these but just in case. First, make sure you have enough memory allocated. Quite the program, highlight the application icon and go FILE MENUE>GET INFO. Click to Memory, you'll then get something like, Suggested, Minimum and Preferred fields. Whack up Minimum and Preferred to whatever you can spare. The second is a Mac desperation thing, not really sure what exactly it does, but everyone does it when in trouble. It's called Zapping the PRAM. To do it REBOOT the machine while holding down ALT, APPLE, P and R simultaneously. (An assistant with 3 arms comes in handy here!), let the machine Chime FOUR times (it might be 3 but one more for luck won't do any harm). Then let the machine reboot as normal. Now try and do whatever it was you were trying to do again and Bobs your uncle - it still won't do it, but hey at least you've tried that one. I have absolutely no idea why I'm still trying to defend Macs after all these years of bashing my head against mine (if anyone would like to remind me, I'd much appreciate it!) but hey, they do make very sexy looking machines.
