| I have PD2k 1.0 from original Office2k Premium pack.
Installed stand-alone on Server2003 and runs well, but
would not run on WinXP Pro after upgrading to Office2003.
Tried everything mentioned in this newsgroup without much
success....BUT....
....after much experimenting, I placed PD2k CD in drive,
exited the autorun window, opened the PhotoDrw folder on
the CD, right-clicked setup.exe, and through properties
set the compatibility mode to Win2000.
Running setup.exe and changing the installation folder
(to anything other than Microsoft Office) seems to work
well. The only limitation I have found so far is that
saved filenames are reduced to a single letter. Saving
this way and then renaming in Explorer seems to work fine.
Please note: although this seems to work, Microsoft imply
there may be further problems. See their disclaimer at
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=318924.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Daniel
