    Twice now we have gotten this error "SetPixelFormat failed, GetLastError=1"
    when trying to print. Only twice, but on the same machine. He did a
    <CTRL>P and ok, and got the error. SW died, he restarted and all worked as
    expected. Anyone else see this? SW2003 SP4.0

    Everytime I have seen that, it has turned out to be a video driver issue.
    What card/driver are you using?

    I've seen this error but not when printing. I think it was while saving and
    SW then crashed and corrupted a few files.

    nVidia Quadro4 900 XGL, but I see he is on driver 4.0.7.2, rather that
    4.3.5.1 as I am. That could be a possibility.

    Wayne:
    This is a problem I experienced with ATI Fire X1 128's newest set of
    drivers.
    I unloaded them, and reinstalled the old ones.
    Problem went away.
