Peter,
We've just ordered PM 6.5 to install in our training group. When it comes
in I'll see if I can get the U.S. version to duplicate the problem you have had.
On a related note, what sort of video card are you using in your computer?
I've seen cases where computers low on video memory or non-standard video
chip sets can give very strange errors in certain programs. I recently had
to replace a 4MB video card that went bad on me--for several weeks before
the problem clearly manifested itself as a faulty bank of video RAM, I got
all sorts of strange errors in programs as diverse as Plus! for Windows 95
to Microsoft Word. Once the video card was replaced, all the problems went
away.
Good luck.
Ken
