Crash - Windows Server 2003 Woes

[dcane]

Friends,

I'm a long long time PI user (since 5) Recently we had to upgrade our workstations to W2k3 Server. Ulead 8 (the last I purcahsed) as well as PI11 both crash immedatly after loading an image, clicking the "text" tool, and just about any other action.

I would **love** to get this working. Any ideas how to make this stable on this OS? I would think that some of the 16bit extensions are the culprit, but I'm out of my depth here.

I was able to get it working on a VPC (Virtual PC) running XP, but thats less than ideal.

Thoughts anyone?

Dual 3.2Ghz Xeons HT
4GB RAM
Windows 2003 Server (NOT x64)

Any word or ideas folks? I'm dying here without my PI working -- have to use that *yeck* Photoshop...

Maybe nobody is using your version of OS?

In XP you can run software in "Compatibility Mode", not sure if the Server version can do that. On a different note, I find it odd that you would be forced to run the server OS on a work station??? Servers are a different beast to the ordinary work station.

Sorry I cannot offer any more help.

Thanks for the reply. I'll actaully purcahsed an entire laptop just for PI... I'll mess around with the compat mode and report back.
