Hi All, Due to another requirement, I have just bought a very upgraded PC which runs Windows 7 O.S. on 64 bit operation, and am thinking of loading TEMPLOT on board. Up till now I have been using Templot on Windows XP OS at 32 bit operation with no problems, other than my own finger trouble.  Will TEMPLOT run successfully with Windows 7 on 64 bit operation ?  Has anyone had any problems, other than those of installing a local printer first, and installing the program at the root of the selected hard drive ? Best regards. Brian Nicholls. |

Brian, I've been using Templot on Windows 7 64 bit for the last 3 months with no problems at all. Best regards Barry Yardley |

Running o.74b is no problem at all. 0.91c will run on a Windows 7 32 bit system (desktop computer) with no problems. Regards, David. |

Have you got a printer installed? 0.91c needs to have at least one printer installed - even if it's just a virtual one. | ||

Connected to local printers, installed printer drivers, but still no go. Have tried just about everything but still getting nowhere. richard_t wrote: Have you got a printer installed? 0.91c needs to have at least one printer installed - even if it's just a virtual one. |

If the former, do you get as far as seeing the dark blue screen with a dialog in the centre? If the latter, how far do you get before it fails? Do you see the "Ready, Steady, Click..."? What are the exact words of any messages which Windows displays? regards, Martin. |

Hi David, This isn't a solution to your problem, but it will get you running with a later version of Templot than 074b. If 074b runs, I'm confident 082d will also run. You can download 082d from: http://www.templot.com/tug/templot_pug_082d_setup.exe More about 082d (applies to 091c also) at: http://www.templot.com/martweb/pug_info_2.htm If 082d runs, but 091c doesn't, the problems can only be: 1. lack of a default printer. If you have recently installed a printer driver, maybe it isn't set as the default, or maybe a Windows restart is needed to recognise it. or 2. related to multiple monitors. Check the setup for multiple monitors in the Display Properties. Why 091c is less tolerant of a missing printer than 074b is something of a mystery, since the code is identical in both -- only the compiler version is different. But it appears to be an established fact. In the next Pug Templot will default to PDF output on startup (at 260mm x 180mm, 600dpi), so the problem of a missing printer should be avoided. regards, Martin. |

Martin, Downloaded and installed 082d successfully. 082d ran without any issues. Have checked the default printers and reset the default to the local printer. The computer is currently set up for a single monitor (inbuilt display). I'll try 091c again. Regards, David. |

Martin, Reinstalled 091c and had success this time. Everything appears to be working. The initial problem may have occured due to the default printer defaulting to the fax printer on the network server rather than the actual printer that was installed on the computer. I also checked if the switchable graphics was causing the problem as the laptop switches between the Intel integrated graphics or the Radeon graphics card dependent on whether it is running on battery power or not. There were no apparent issues. I'll now copy over all the box files created with 091c. Regards, David. |

If you had mentioned that in your first message, I could have told you the problem straight away. All -- please, please, when you ask for help, give all the details. The download note at: topic 330 says: Just a reminder that Templot needs a default local printer -- not a network printer -- to be able to run. I will now change that to: Just a reminder that Templot needs a default local printer -- not a network printer -- to be able to run. I agree however that this is a ridiculous situation. Templot should be able to start regardless of the printer configuration. In the next Pug I hope it will. regards, Martin. |

Martin, I had made an assumption that the default printer was the actual printer that I had installed prior to trying to upgrade to 091c as other applications printed to the printer successfully. But, there were a lot of Windows updates that may have changed some of the settings/defaults. However, I have just been playing around with multiple monitors and can report that there are no issues. 091c works well. Regards, David. |
