I recently re-installed MC14 on a new computer running Windows 7. Now when I try to run Print Preview, I get an unknown runtime error. MC was running fine on my previous computer running Windows XP. Any suggestions?

Which maintainance release of Mathcad 14 are you using?

In the release notes I find two entrys concerning problems with page preview:

Mathcad 14 M020

SPR 1425078: Mathcad exits prematurely when trying to Print Preview a non-empty worksheet.

Mathcad 15 F000

SPR 1779925: Fixes a problem with Print and Print Preview in specific situations involving the Microsoft Multilingual User Interface.

Maybe its the first one which you encounter (if you are using a pre M020 version). Updating to MC14 M020 should be free: http://www.ptc.com/support/mathcad_downloads.htm

I now realize that I asked this very same question 3 years ago when I had to re-intall MC14. Installing the maintenance release M020 solved the problem. But now (with Windows 7) I cannot get M020 to install....Installer just keeps running and running and running....Do I need to install M010 first?

Do I need to install M010 first?

As far as I am aware of - no. Every Maintainance release of Mathcad is a full version, there are no incremental updates.

I did manage to install M020 for MC 14 but it was not a very user-friendly process with Windows 7.

Thanks for the help!

Maybe you'd like to sketch how for the benefit of other users experiencing the same problem.
