Not a happy bunny

[SmartEd]

Using V8 for a week now and every day I seem to have an issue, today I have artefacts appearing on my prints, mainly rectangular boxes. Looks fine on the screen, but when I print they appear, open it up in V7 no problem. I tried to work around the problem by exporting as a PDF and printing from Acrobat but the layout goes all over the place! Again I opened the document in V7 and exported as a PDF and the layout is fine. Add to this random "internal errors", "out of memory" errors, sluggish performance (rare for Xara), a clipboard paste with a mind of its own, the and "£" character appearing either as a "#" or laying on it's back, I'm wishing I never bothered "upgrading". .
Anyone else having these problems?
