Can you help with diagnosis - gdi?

[North of Watford]

An amateur here. I have a number of applications feeling a bit sickly at the moment, the most recent of which is CoolPDF. It keeps on telling me that "Canvas does not allow drawing". I have seen this from other programs, so conclude that it is a system call that is objecting, and suspect it is the GDIs somewhere.

Now at this point I am out of my depth. My first reaction is to replace all instances of any GDI component with the most recent I can find. Is that wise? Or am I looking in entirely the wrong direction?

Thanks for your help.

Jeff

PS: How do I post images (eg screen cap of the error message)? Tnx

Updating your GDI would be a good start really. Might have ended up with an older version on their at some point. The most recent ones you can find for win98 which would be verson 4.90.3003

Info about it: http://www.mdgx.com/files/918547.php

It will not install normally on win98 so you'd need to unpack the installer and right-click -> install on the inf file inside of it.

As for posting images, press PrntScrn and then paste it into any image editor you wish.
