I've been using PagePlus X8 for years without problems. When this error occured in X8 I downloaded X9 to see if that would overcome the error, but it didn't. In case somebody can help figure this out, here is the Error log generated by PagePlusX8 and/or X9 program(s). Based on it, I have been focusing on "fixing" the d3d.dll driver, but it is embedded in the Win7 OS and I cannot touch it and it seems impossible to reinstall DirectX to refresh the files. I did reinstall my graphics card drivers, just in case. A scannow fix of the system does nothing to help. One other clue that points to graphics is right after I double click to open the program I get a dialogue box that says my display resolution does not meet the minimum. Actually, it exceeds it. I click through it and PagePlus opens. But as soon as I attempt to work with any PagePlus tool that involves text, the program crashes. I don't even dabble in programming, so most of this error message means nothing to me.
Where else could I share this for help?

I have Win 11 on a HP laptop and PagePlusx9 works fine. Two things tho', it'll ask you to register every time you open it. LOL. And, If you try to copy Serif documents from your old computer to the new one you end up leaving all your source documents behind - like images, fonts, etc. (You can find that list of "properties" when you have the document open in Serif if you want to try and find all of them to copy and transfer to the new computer. Open the Tools menu and review your Managers.) Otherwise, the program itself seems to work just fine. I haven't tried the other Serif programs yet.
Thanks Alfred. That helps keep the program open. Now, to further define the problem, When I click to open PagePlus X8 or X9 I first get a warning dialogue that says my monitor resolution does not meet minimum size of 1280 x 960, (but I am actually at 1920 x). Once I click though that warning, both/either PagePlus x8 or x9 will open and I can work ok with drawing and images, but as soon as I type any text - whether in a text box or Artistic Text - the program immediately closes. If I try to open an existing document that contains text, it closes down immediately. DrawPlusX8 is affected the same way. Movie/Photo/WebPlus are not affected. I rarely use Affinity, but I can't even open them. All three programs/modules will show a splash screen and then go no further. Other, non Serif related programs that I have are working fine with text, etc.
I've done the usual virus and malware checks without any major issues.
Any other ideas? Thanks!
MoviePlus has been my go to for years of video work for a volunteer group. So sad its been discontinued. Its so easy to use and plenty versatile. Still my favorite! I've been playing around with Movavi Suite, but not as happy with it.
Greetings Serif users! I've not been big on needing forums, but sure glad Alfred has set this up. PagePlus has been my go-to for decades and poof, its gone! Well, not quite, but for me at least it is. Mine quit working sometime in the last couple months and I cannot get it to stay open. Program starts, gives the options to open files, but as soon as I click on one, the program shuts down and offers to send an error report. But of course, that report has nowhere to go, now. PagePlusX8, Win7 64 bit. Anyone have any ideas? All my other Serif products, and other programs, are working fine! Thanks.
