Pagemaker/Indesign incompatible with WIN XP SP3

I just had WIN XP Service Pack 3 installed in my computer after a bad crash, and immediately there were problems. The worst so far, is that files made in Pagemaker 7.0 cannot be read in InDesign CS2. I'm told that CS3 solves that problem, but what a rip off. I've been able to make PM files into a PDF and bring in the PDF to InDesign, but I can't edit the PDF then. Adobe says they have no plan to fix CS2, that users should buy CS3. My first job this morning is to delete Service Pack 3 and bring back SP2. Best, Cliff Moore

I haven't gotten SP3 on my system yet. In what way can PM7 files not be
read into Indesign CS2? Do you get an error message?
AFAIK, both ID CS2 and CS3 can open Pagemaker 7 documents, although
there are some scenarios in which you might have trouble (missing
graphics, missing fonts). AFAIK, these have nothing to do with Windows.
I'd be happy to try to open your PM files here, though. I have both CS2
and CS3 loaded. kbenson at pegtype dot com

ITunes 10 not compatible with Win XP SP3?

My wife's Dell is running Win XP (32 bit) with SP3, has most of the recent Microsoft security updates, MS Office 2007, and the 2011 version of McAfee. It is rather "plain vanilla" in its configuration, so I don't expect any conflicts with the Win version of iTunes.
With iTunes 9.2.1.5, her computer & iTunes work fine. I thought I'd try the suggested upgrade to iTunes 10.4.1. It downloaded and installed OK. However, upon the next reboot of the computer, ended up at the black screen and could only restart in safe mode. Repeated restarts, only could get to safe mode though.
I restored her computer from a disk image, and it ran fine until I tried to upgrade to iTunes 10.4.1 again ... same thing, can only boot to safe mode. I repeated this process a couple more times with different versions of her system's disk images, all run iTunes 9.2.1.5 OK, but crash with an iTunes 10.4.1 install. I also tried this with and without running Norton Win Dr. & Disk Dr. (not running Norton antivirus, rather McAfee) to clean up the registry and system files, but same results.
Is iTunes 10.x.x only for Vista or Win OS 7? Is there some known Microsoft update or setting that conflicts with iTunes 10.x.x? Does iTunes 10.x.x not play nice with McAfee or any of its security features? Is there some level of Windows security settings that could cause this?
I'm OK with iTunes 9.2.1.5 for now, but don't want the next Apple device that requires a newer iTunes version to break her computer. We wish to stay at Win XP SP3 as both our work computers use XP and our same current level of program revisions, so we don't want new issues (plus time & cost) going to Win 7 just for the sake of iTunes 10.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
PS: I personally use a MacPro at home, but that is not a current option for my wife (just saying this in advance for those who's fix will be to "get a Mac" :-)

Why not update your OS to 10.6?

Audio problem with win xp sp3 black edition

Product Name-Hp Pavilion g6-1318AX
I've recently installed the win xp sp3 black edition.All the drivers are working but there is a problem in recognizing the sound hardware...I have tried installing many IDT HD drivers but its not working...On the properties of IDT HD audio hardware it shows a s follow..
Device not working..error(code 10)
Plz help me Sir/Madam.
Thanking You.

Hi:
You probably won't be able to get the audio to work in XP on your model.
If you did not first install the Chipset driver and Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) Bus Driver for High Definition Audio before you attempted to install any of the audio drivers you tried, then that is part of the reason nothing is working.
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=0&...
You may have to start from scratch and install XP if you can't uninstall the audio drivers you tried.
You can also refer to this guide, read the audio info listed under the Difficult Models section, and hopefully one of those suggestions will work for you.

?? System Update Incompatible with Win 7 Service Pack 1 ??

Hello everyone,
I have two ThinkPads.One's a T61p and the other is a W500. Both have Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (beta) installed and both have ThinkVantage System Update 4 (v4.00.0024) installed.
It seems the System Update is incompatible with Service Pack 1. When I try to run the System Update, it seems to start fine but when I try to get new updates, I receive the message, "An error occurred while gathering user information."
Has anyone else had this error? Will a new (compatible) version of System Update be released?
Thanks

i had the same problem got it working by adding until they update for now

Right mouse click problem on T60p with WIN-XP SP3

I have T60p model. After upgrading my WIN-XP to SP3 i am facing problem with Right mouse click. Right mouse click starts working as left click. Initially when I reboot my machine it works fine but after sometime I start getting above mentioned problem. I even installed the latest mouse drivers(ultranav) from Lenovo site. Has anyone got this same problem? Looks like Lenovo should fix this problem.
Thanks in advance.

This isn't necessarily a driver problem, and it's not necessarily Lenovo's problem.
The primary and secondary mouse buttons can be switched by a program you are running, although it wouldn't seem that this is very likely.
Windows Start Menu | Settings | Control Panel | Mouse. This will take you to the Mouse PropertiesTabbed Dialog. Click on the Buttons tab. There you can see if the primary and secondary buttons are truly switched. If so, you can switch them back, without rebooting the machine.

Cannot get bluetooth mighty mouse to work with win xp sp3 bootcamp ver 2.1

I have tried the most popular solution of establishing the mouse as a device, highlighting it in the devices menu, then clicking properties, then services, and once it is done searching checking the box for the "drivers for keyboard, mice, etc [HID]and clicking apply. get the message with the header bluetooth error access denied. this happened recently when I updated bootcamp before mouse worked flawlessly for month on xp. If anybody has any solutions it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Forgot to mention mighty mouse works fine in the mac os partition

Try this solution. First click on the bluetooth icon at the bottom of the windows screen. Then click show bluetooth devices, then click add new devices and when the new device shows up double click on the device. Then a windows shows up at the top of this window it says general and other. Chose other. Another window shows up and check the small box. This small box searches for windows drivers just for this bluetooth device. When done it should pair and work fine.

I have the Itunes.msi file it asks for, but what network are they talking about as I am not on a network with WIN XP SP3

When I try to install the newest Itunes, I get a message saying that it cannot find Itunes.msi. I have that file in the Apple updates directory and I point to it.
After hitting enter, it comes back to the same question with the implication that I am not on the right network. I am not on any network. Please help

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

V18 with win xp sp3, avast and zone alarm no longer attaches files. After reinstall added one file then no more

Firefox 4 seems to work good with Win XP3, but leaves lots of DMP files.

Firefox4 does not crash with Win XP SP3, but I'm getting lots of DMP files when I go to clean up.

I took cor-el's advice and read some of the .extra files and the culprit seemed to be the npmozax.dll file in every case. I disabled the "Mozilla ActiveX control and plugin support 1.0.0.4" plugin and (so far) and yet to see a .dmp or .extra file in my pending folder so hopefully this solved the problem, thanks to all for the help.

InDesign CS3 incompatible with XP SP3, which will soon be an automatic update

A couple of months ago, after I had instability problems, I was advised by Adobe Support that Windows XP Service Pack 3, which I had installed, was not recommended for use with InDesign CS3. I am advised today that this is still the case.
This is now a critical situation for the many people who use Indesign CS3 with Windows XP. ComputerWorld reports this week that Microsoft has said that the SP3 upgrade will "shortly" no longer be optional, but will be forced on people as an automatic update.
I discussed this with Adobe Support today and was advised that I could turn off automatic Microsoft updates via the XP control panel. Well I knew that, but it is not a good option because it will turn off automatic updates of other important elements, such as security fixes.
This is a most unsatisfactory situation and Adobe has had plenty of time to sort it out. We need to know when a patch will be available and there should also be a system whereby Adobe can advise XP users when the patch comes available. And Adobe needs to get it's act together urgently, to produce the fix.

Matthew - if you see no problem with the XP SP3/Indesign CS3 combination, why don't you tell your phone support people?
When I had my original problems, a large book design file was continually freezing. When I rang support (Asia-Pacific), I was told unequivocally that CS3 should not be used with XP SP3.
I rolled back my service pack upgrade and still had problems, so the problem may well have been some corruption that had entered my InDesign file.
However, with that book awkwardly cobbled together and out of the way, last week I rang Adobe support again, to see if any of the recent CS3 updates had made InDesign CS3 compatible with SP3 and again was told it wasn't. Their documentation said it was OK with XP SP2 and Vista, but not SP3.
This needs to be properly sorted out.

Incompatible with Adobe InDesign (Error code: 14)

Hi all,
I've been having major problems with InDesign CS3 and OS 10.5. It always crashes when I try to Place, Export, Save As, anything that requires it to navigate the finder.
Now, while trying to export to PDF, the document froze. So I had to force quit it. Now ANY InDesign file I try to open gives me the error message:
The file "file name" is incompatible with Adobe InDesign (Error code: 14).
Has anyone experienced this? I'm now stuck as I cannot open anything to get some work done.
Thanks in advance.

Win 8.1 Pro 32 Bit Compatibility with Office 2003 SP3 32 Bit

Hi,
Our one of the customer has recently updated Win 8.1 Pro 32 Bit from Win XP. They are using MS Office 2003 32 Bit since long. With XP Office 2003 was working perfectly. But with Win 8.1 they have found one problem.
When they are typing mail ID in "TO" or "CC" the saved email ID is appear but by pressing ENTER the Auto fill action is not accepted. Because of this problem, customer have to type email id manually each and every time.
Can you please help me to resolve or clarify this problem.
Thank You..!!

Hi Shashank,
Just as Dominic's share, Microsoft Office 2003 suites and applications are not compatible with Windows 8 and later Operating System.
I suggest you upgrade your Office version. Microsoft Office 2013 could work on Windows 8.1 seamlessly.

Boot-camp Win XP SP3 Sound Device drivers incompatible

Hi,
I have recently installed windows XP on boot camp and installed all the correct software, but the sound card does not work! I installed the boot camp software on XP from the Leopard DVD and everything worked fine except the sound. I then installed the recent update for boot-camp 2.1 from "Apple Software update" hoping that this would solve the problem. It didn't. I then went back to the Leopard DVD and explored through the installers in there. I knew that the Sigmatel driver was missing, so I ran the installer for that from the CD. The installation seemed to work, and it asked me to restart, so I did, when windows came back up again the installer popped up to complete the installation but half way through, an error message came up and told me that "The driver you are trying to install is incompatible with this version of windows. Click OK to end the setup". I then tried going into Device manager and manually installing the drivers from the Sigmatel directory. yet another message stopped me "This file does not contain information about the device you are trying to install" and clicking ok takes you back to driver selection. I then thought about trying the installer for Realtek and went through the same process, this time the installer finished correctly but the driver was still not present, so back to device manager again. In the Realtek folder there were at least a dozen files containing drivers, so i tried them all, without success and seeing the "does not contain information about the device" message.
If anyone knows how to help, plz do. Thanks

Hi..yeah..can anyone help on this please..
im also experiencing the same problem..ive also tried realtek R249..
thanks...

Pagemaker is ancient, obsolete and unsupported. It was discontinued over 10 years ago. (Though why it is still sold is a mystery.)
If you want to run PageMaker, your best bet is to use a Win2K or WinXP PC.
Otherwise move to Indesign or look at Serif's PagePlus or Scribus.
