Uninstalling 11

V10 onwards follows accepted Microsoft methods for uninstalling. Just go to Control Panel, Priograms and Features, click on Design and click the Change button.

You will be prompted for a Basic Uninstall or a Complete Uninstall. A Basic Uninstall leaves your settings (including registry) and installed catalogues in place and a Complete Uninstall removes everything. Neither options remove drawings so they will be perfectly safe.

Given the amount of hassle you seem to be having, I would do a Complete Uninstall and accept the hassle of having to reload catalogues and re-enter your preferred settings.

Which OS are you on (win 10, 8.1, 7) and what graphics card do you have? Also what main processor – Intel or AMD?

Odd. That is a perfectly acceptable configuration. I would say that there is no alternative but to Complete Uninstall and re-install.

Before you try that however, try closing down all other software including any anti-virus, any other resident programs such as Dropbox, Google Drive and so on and see if that reduces the crashing.

I have a habit of printing to PDF and then printing the PDF on the printer. So it may be worth trying that combo as well. I use PrimoPDF to create the PDFs then if needed I enhance them in another package. I have yet to get a crash like the print/preview one you describe. This 2 stage thing only adds a few seconds to the whole process and means I have a PDF ready to email.
