Hi Kate,

And what about Xara Page and Layout Designer ?
Any new version scheduled for this software or had Xara given up its development ?

Have a nice day.

Dan, elsewhere Xara has declared no 32-bit products so XP&LD is out unless is is resurrected as 64-bit.

Acorn, am I to understand then PG&D16 will not work on a computer with 32bit OS, only a 64bit? It says nothing about this at Magix.com only shows the Windows it will install to- Vista through to Windows 10

@ stygg2033 yes that's right, no 32 bit version. And you're right, the Magix pages for Pro, WDP and WDC mention the 64 bit requirement but I can't see it on the PGD pages, have passed that feedback along, hopefully they can update it quickly. My posts here at TG have mentioned it.

@ danpandi - no final decision on Page & Layout Designer yet, but for sure if we released a new version it would be 64 bit only.

Kate Moir, Xara

Magix only sell the 64 bit versions. Version 15 comes with options to install a 32 or 64 bit program. Version 15 is now only available by buying from other sellers such as Amazon or Ebay. I have just obtained Version 15 by download. The seller couldn't tell me what version it was so he gave it to me providing I report back to him after I have installed it. The download of Xara Web Design Premium version 15.0.0.52288 from November 2017 (107MB) also came with Magix Music Maker (862.26MB) which I installed for review purposes then uninstalled as it is of no use to me.

If you successfully registered the application, you can download the other 32/64 version and use the same registration and have both working at the same time.

Thanks Acorn. I have managed to reinstall to the D: drive.

Just installed PGD v16 and all went ok, but did have following error message (what thumbnails, I wonder?):

Also, when installation had completed, the dialogue box had confusing button, "Let's get started". I was expecting PGD to open up when I pressed it, so I waited and waited but it didn't! (That's a another few valuable moments of my life gone forever)
