Answer

Hi,

 

Word Perfect has a known slow printing issue however installing all available servce packs should take care of the issue http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=Corel3%2FDownloads%2FSupportDownloads&pname=WordPerfect+Office+11+%28Standard%29

 

After you have installed the service packs reboot your machine and try to print again and let us know if that does not take care of it.

 

Thanks

I was under the impression that I would pay after the download is working.

Do I download all the updates (not French or German versions)?

Answer

Yes,

 

That is correct you do not hit accept till you are satisfied that this problem is solved.

 

Just go ahead and install service pack 1 then restart then pack 2 then restart again and install service pack3 and reboot one last time then try it and let us know if you see an improvement.


Thanks

Patch 1, 2, and 3 are not for the Productivity Pack. I switched to the updates for the productivity pack and got two patches.

I trired to install the first one but received an error merge message saying, "Error 1721, Merge Error: There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. The productivity pack came with a previous computer from Dell.

I have the original WordPerfect Productivity Pack disc.

Posted by Claws224 294 days and 21 hours ago.

Answer

Ok,

 

In that case I would like to try uninstalling your current copy then restarting and reloading the software in compatibility mode.

 

To do this can you click Start, Control Panel then open Programs.

 

Find your copy of Word perfect then uninstall it and reboot yoru machine.

 

Once the machine restarts can you put the disk into your machine and cose any windows that open.

 

Next can you click Start then My Computer and browse to your CD drive then find the Setup or installer file for Wordperfect and right click it.

 

Next choose properties then click the compatibility tab and tell it to run in compatibility mode for windows XP and close the window.

 

Next right click the insatller and choose Run As Administrator and load the software then restart your machine once finished.

 

After it restarts try running your updates again and let us know what happens.


Thanks

why are you doing this

what do you expect to happen

what does this command actually do

Posted by Claws224 293 days and 20 hours ago.

Answer

Ok,

 

The command is the SFC (System File Check) what it does is check the files on your machine against the ones on the disk to make sure none of the files on your machine are damaged.

 

What I am hoping to do is see if the copy of Vista on your machine is damaged or if it is the update package.

how do I do that

Answer

Ok,

 

Just restart the machine and as it starts can you tap the F8 key slowly till you come to the Safe Mode selection screen, Use the arrow keys to select safe mode then hit enter to select it.

 

When the machine asks you to login choose the Administrator account and once logged in try to open the file, If it will allow you to open it click File then save and sae a copy to the C:\ drive so we can open it in full mode.


Thanks
