I installed version 2.2.5 over version 2.1.7 today. It cancelled part way thru, spooler in use or similar error. Reset computer, reinstalled. My test print did not prompt me for a filename, instead the output went to a physical printer on my LAN. Uninstalled, reinstalled, got same problem. Uninstalled, deleted all references to PDF Redirect from the registry, reinstalled, same problem. Version 2.1.7 was working last time I used it a day or two back. Note: The last PDF Writer I installed recently was PDF Creator 0.9.3. This was working fine and PDF Redirect 2.1.7 continued to work fine after that. (XP Home SP2 on Athlon64) |

Hi, I am sorry to hear of the problem. It is weird that the printout would go to the physical printer if you selected the PDF reDirect printer. I would try an uninstall, then a reboot, and then a re-install. Hoipefully the reboot will set the Windows print spooler service to allow a proper installation. If the problem continues, look at the printer properties for the PDF reDirect printer, and check the "Port" setting: it should be set to the "PDF reDirect Port:". IS it maybe set to something else? If so, select the PDF reDirect port. Let me know how you make out, and we'll take it from there. Best regards, ------------- Michel Korwin-Szymanowski EXP Systems LLC |

All good now, thanks!  Sometimes you think you don't need another reboot - but you do! Also, this time I closed down about 6 programs from my systray before I reinstalled. (Sometimes the message "please close all programs before installing" DOES actually mean it!). |
