V7 has landed! We’ve just released the new versions of both Photo & Graphic Designer and Designer Pro.

You can find out what’s new on the Xara site @ http://www.xara.com/products/designer/whatsnew/ and Gary has already published a Workbook covering the new features @ http://www.xaraxone.com/webxealot/workbook89/

We hope you like it.

Many thanks

I looked a Gary's summary and can't wait to start playing!

Hi,

Having trouble downloading. It gets to 73% and then stops. Won't allow me to delete that file and redownload - says the file is open. No idea how to close the file, nor how to get it working from the stuck failed download. All suggestions welcome.

PS I always get stuff like this. We live in the countryside and our connection is beyond pathetic. It would be quicker to walk to Gaddesden Place and get the software, I think.

For the last hour it's been stuck at 81%. Can't decide whether it is a dead download or whether it's worth still waiting.

I am in a loop here - if I cancel the download, I still can't get rid of the partially downloaded file, so no way to start afresh.

All ideas welcome.

The downloaded file gets saved to My Documents\MAGIX Downloads\Installationsmanager, go to this location and delete the partially downloaded file then re-run the Download Manager.

Might be better to download at a quieter time as well.
