Programme 'Freeze-Up'.

[vivandorron]

I was unfortunate to have had my house struck by lighting and the downforce of electricity was responsible for rendering my computers beyond repair. ( Laptop and Desktop...along with Printer, Scanner, T.V., Radio, Extractor Fan, Light bulbs, etc.)

It is now the case that I have bought replacement items and, computerwise, have a set-up of a 'Dell..Studio Laptop and an H.P. all-in-one, Scanner/Copier/Printer.(Deskjet F2200)

My problem is that, having loaded my original disc for Corel's 'Word Perfect 2000' and an up-to-date version of 'Focus 30,000 Art Clips', there is a 'freeze-up' when I click the mouse for an 'Insert'. Consequently, I am no longer able to compile such things as Birthday/Christmas Cards,Posters etc....Copy/Paste only produces a Windows Paint icon in documentation.

The result is that, whilst I am able to access other programmes with a 'Frozen Page' it becomes necessary for me to Log-off or Shut-down to clear Word-Perfect's page and lose anything which I have compiled, prior to my attempt of an 'insertion' into the document concerned.

Any comments and/or advice from ABers would be very much appreciated.

Incidentally, my Laptop is operating on 'Windows..Vista Home Premium'.

Right click on the icon for wordperfect, select properties, then click on the compatibility tab, put a tick in "run this program in compatibility mode for" make sure Windows XP is selected in the drop down and click OK

Hi Chuck....Did as you suggested but without any success and recieved an on-screen message:- AM90EN. "Corel Aplication Manager could not find this feature."

I have therefore re-set Properties to what they were.
