Error Message Problem

I am using PTC Creo Elements Direct Modeling Express 6.0, and I have a problem that I cannot seem to get around. Whenever I am in the annotation mode and try to create a drawing from the model, that is after I see the preview of what will be layed out in threee views, and select the green check mark to create the drawing, I get an error message that says "Cannot create this view because of an internal error. Action will be aborted." I get this message now matter how simple the model is, even if it only a cube or cylinder. Any help anyone could provide would be appreciated. I am using an Asus with windows 8.1, 8GB ram, I7 quad core and a G Force graphics card.

In modeling, right click and select "Viewport Properties...". Under the Projection heading make sure the Parallel is checked and not Perspective.

If perspective is checked, then Annotation will not be able to create the views and will give an error like the one you are getting.

I made sure the parallel is checked, but, so far the same error. No matter how simple the model, the program returns the same error when I try to produce a detalied drawing. The computer is new, and fairly strong. I can't see it being pilot error as I have used other CAD systems for years.I almost thik there should be some was of system checking the program for errors or something.

Thanks
