When I print out the color grid, my DMC numbers are mixed with characters (#, $, (, etc). The numbers for Anchor and Coates are accurate. I am using PC Stitch 5.0 for the first time. My computer has Windows XP, not 95/98 as the box states. Could that cause the problem? I love the program and created my downloaded picture pattern with ease, it's just those darn DMC numbers. Can anyone help please. Thanks.

Windows XP didn't exist when PCStitch 5 was written, which is why the OS is incorrect during the installation, but that shouldn't be causing any problems.

I'm not sure I understand the problem. Can you give me a specific example of what it looks like?

When I look at the floss palette and place my cursor over any particular color, the DMC numbers are correct. When I print out the color grid, the floss numbers for Anchor and Coates are correct. The list for DMC is as follows: "10 for black rather than 310, #15 for mauve rather than 315, $70 for mustard, %51 for shell grey rather than 451, etc. The DMC list should be all numbers, no characters. I'm lost. Thanks for any help that you can provide.

Have you downloaded the latest maintenance update for the PCStitch 5 software to make sure you are on the last version? Go to the Customer Service page at www.pcstitch.com and you can get the update file.

Thank you so much Mark. I downloaded the current update to PC Stitch 5.0 and it solved all my problems (so far). My DMC numbers are now correct. Woo hoo!
