    Default WinXP, InDesign CS, open PM Doc woe...

    I just installed a new WinXP system (Dual Xeon 3.02 SCSI, 6GB RAM) and InDesign CS. On my old system (Win2K, Dual Xeon 2,1 SCSI, 4GB RAM), InDesign opens PageMaker files without a problem. The new one does not.

    I tried the same file on both systems: The one on Win2K took some time (expected) but opened it. The one on WinXP tried for a bit and then ID simply stopped responding.

    Does InDesign have problems with WinXP? I must be able to open old PM files from time to time and am distressed that ID won't do it anymore.

    Any help appreciated!

    No problems here. Keep in mind that file conversions are not 100% and
    may not work at all. I suggest you keep a copy of PM loaded for files
    that must be worked on.
