I have an old copy of quattro pro 8 which is splendid for
all my needs but I have a lot of what you might
call 'legacy' macros (for some files that go back decades)
which only run on version 8 and not the later versions (it
is now up to version 12 and the word perfect/corel web
site does not want to know about versions earlier than
version 10).
I know i should rewrite these macros but there are a lot
of them and I only use some of them once a year or so, and
life is a bit short to spend learning macro languages,
especially when you are retired ...
the problem i have is simple; I loaded quattro pro 8 onto
my new Dell 4600 with Windows XP professsional.(quattro
pro 8 runs perfectly on Windows 2000)
But when I run Quattro pro 8, it comes up without some of
the menu items , does not run my macros, and has the (not
very helpful ) message "Could not Load DIALOG.MMC menu".
So I had what is for me a very bright idea and I
googled "Load DIALOG.MMC" and the most relevant answer
was:-
Installation of Visual Age for Java causes Corel Suite 8
applications (e.g. Quattro Pro) to fail to load essential
pull-down menu components.
Categories: Bug
Service: PC Applications
SW and Version Level: Visual Age for Java 2.0
Document ID: SKAS-484LPL
After installing VisualAge for Java 2.0, a user of Corel
Suite 8 receives a dialog box with the message "Cannot
Load DIALOG.MMC", and many pull-down menu options are
missing. When Visual Age for Java is uninstalled, the
problem disappears.
Visual Age for Java defines a default language setting.
The workaround is to remove this setting and then all
works well.
In Windows NT 4.0:
In Control Panel -> System, remove the default language
selection.
In Windows 98:
Edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and remove the line
LANG=EN_US
This is exactly my problem, except that it refers to
versions earlier than Windows XP, and I have not been able
to 'translate' these workarounds to work with XP
professional.
Would anyone know how you could workaround my problem with
Windows Xp professional?
