   Re: Pdox hangs when printing in XP

   If you just hit "print" in the dialog I guess it will print, but if you   
   change printer, page range or something else it will hang?   
      
   If this is the case, I think this is the known problem with a conflict with   
   Microsoft CTFMON.EXE that you are seeing. It's installed with Microsoft   
   Office to enable multilanguage imput I think - you can read more about it on   
   Microsoft site and also instructions how to remove it. It's a rather   
   complicated task.   
      
   To verify if this is really your problem to the following:   
      
   1) Launch taskmanager and see if CTFMON.EXE is running. If it's kill the   
   process.   
      
   2) Start Paradox, do a lot of printing, change printers, page ranges etc.   
      
   If everything is fine, CTFMON.EXE is probably causing the hang. If you can   
   control the environment and kan be without the functions of CTFMON (see MS   
   site) the best is to disable it. If you can't do this, the solution might be   
   to make your own print dialog. That was my solution. I have a simple form   
   that let the user select printer and page range. This of course only work if   
   your printing is done with code.   
      
   Having said this, it could of course be something else that is causing your   
   problem...
