I have updated to Windows XP and now I can't not create a pdf file from PageMaker 6.5 It is a two step process. First create the PS to be opened in Distiller and then Distiller makes the PDF file. I think the problem is in the first step. Making the PS file. When I try to open the PS in Distiller to make the PDF file it will not do it. I get an error message. Normally that PS file could also be opened up in Corel Photo Paint as well (PS meaning PostScript) and now those PS will not open there either. I need help!

> PageMaker 6.5
Not supported on WinXP by Adobe - they recommend PM7.

You may need the latest version of the PS driver if you have WinXP and installed the version on the PM6.5 setup CD-ROM. It can be d/l'ed from
