Page layout lost after saving a notation

Dear Sherry,

I justed tested the older version 2.5.2 but it has the same problem.
Could the problem have to do with the Windows 7, which I have on my computer and laptop's?

Cheers Jaap

That's a possibility, though I'm using Win 7 and am not seeing the problem the same as you are. That said, I haven't installed any of the regular Windows updates for quite a while either, so you may be on to something here. If you have a roll-back point some time ago, you may want to try rolling back your computer and see if that resolves the problem.

Sorry I can't be more helpful at this point, but if I can't reproduce a problem, it's very hard to diagnose. One of the downsides to having so many options...

ttfn,
Sherry

Dear Sherry,

It crossed my mind that my own configuration is very richly loaded with applications. Going back a some restore points does not make sense.
But my neighbour has bought Composer too and installed on a brand new Windows 7 system, no further apps installed. He has exactly the same problems.

While on mu previous configurations with XP and Vista I did not have this problem. So I have just done a test with the Windows 7 compatitiblity tool Run File Explorer, got to the composer directory, right click on composer.exe, left click on Solve Compatibility Problems,
Start the analyses.
It found that it indicates compatibility issues, and advices to run Composer in Windows XP SP3 mode. Then click on continue and save to run Composer alway in XP-SP3 mode.

Problem is solved as far as I can see (with 2.5.2 and 2.61)

Hi Jaap,

Thanks for that further research and findings. I'll write that up for looking into, and keep the information on hand for others who may run into the same issues.

Thanks!

Hello.

I have exactly the same problem.
Working with layout, saving, quitting.
The next time I start NC changes are (partly) lost.
Annoying.

Maybe it has something to do with default paper size,
which is usally A4 in europe and "letter" in the US.
Or some other differences between installs on european and american computers?

Hi Heiko,

Sorry for the problem. Did you try Jaap's workaround of running Composer in "XP SP3" compatibility mode? I've tried that, and it does workaround the problem some of the time, but not all of the time (for me). We're trying to figure out the exact conditions here, so knowing what you've tried may be helpful.

Thanks!
Sherry

Hi Sherry.

Sorry, that doesn´t work.
tried it either with XP-SP3 and with XP-SP2, nothing works.
