Pagemaker (Adobe)/Type 3 error

Advertisement

Expert: Glen Demers - 8/27/2009


Question
I have a Mac G4 and when I tried to launch PageMaker 6.5 it unexpectedly quits and I get a Type 3 error. I have re-installed the program and it is still not launching PageMaker. We are a small print shop and I really need to get to all of my files that are in PageMaker. All my other programs launch fine like QuarkXpress and Photoshop. Please help!

Answer
Hi Chris,

My first thought is to try trashing the PageMaker prefs file, rebuild the desktop and try allocating more memory for PageMaker.

If these don't do the trick, Adobe has an excellent troubleshooting article here: http://is.gd/2BXSZ

Hope this helps,
