Any way to get it to run?  When I start it, I get error:

-----------------------------------------------------

Plug-in can not be completed 
Some system operation failed
 [7212]
[5904] 

                                            9001:7224

Apparently, according to someone who posted a response to the same 
question last week, you need to uninstall a number of fonts from your 
Windows/Fonts folder. Do that. Reboot. Try again.

Yes, I tried that before and it didn't help.  I remove over half of the fonts and still will not load.

Does anyone else reading this have another suggestions.

I ran into a similar situation a while back (though with InDy & Photoshop)
... it's possible that your Windows/Adobe registry is messed up.

Is PM the only Adobe product you have loaded? If not, if you have several
other Adobe apps loaded and the "owner" info is different on each one, it'll
pop an error. In my case, I used my company name on one registration and my
name on another and it confused the registry. They do that, I think, to curb
people using their apps illegally. For me, once I went into the registry and
changed all the "owners" to one name, it fixed the problem.

I figure it's at least a look?

Because PM is long out of date and most of the help I have received in the past came from these other Adobe groups.

Thanks.  I just now tried that and same result.

PM7 runs fine on other machine here with Win98SE
