I recently purchased a new computer with Windows Vista on it...now my Quark Xpress 4.1 isn't compatible. Is there a fix to this? Or am I going to have to purchase a new version of Quark? Thank you!
Return the new computer and tell them you can't accept Vista. Quark 4.1 will run on Windows 7 - 64 if you follow my instructions.

Problem with Quark QuarkXPress
How can I install my
Quark 7 on my new Windows 7? All I get is 'QuarkXpress 7 requires that
your computer is running Windows XP or Windows 2003. Help!

Start the Windows "Program Compatibility Wizard".
Tell it that you want to install a Windows XP application.
Tell it that the software to be installed is on a CD-ROM.
I continue to be amazed that no body has found THE elegant solution I did. As a matter of fact I am using Quark 4 on Window 7, I used it on Vista
(where it performed better than Vista) and on XP back at least to 98 or
perhaps 95. My original install required burning a floppy (good luck
with that today) for the registration. At
some point, I discovered it was truly portable and simply copied the
installed Quark directory to a new location (anywhere) on each new
system. I dragged out a shortcut onto the desktop to the executable on
every new platform. It still runs fine on this 64bit
Window 7. Has not blown up yet. Something I wish I could say about
other software. The only rub I found is that MS monkeyed about with
associations (which worked fine in XP & Vista) and I have yet to be
able to set.QXDs to Quark when I even set .QXTs to Quark.Windows
7 automatically served up In-Design as being the first (default)
association in my programs list. Something I did not accept. I even
tried to rewrite the registry in an attempt to make it work. In fact, if you look into the .DLLs under Windows, you may find versions of the same .DLL that can run under 64, 32 and 16 bit environments. I suspect it will work under Windows 8 if MS doesn't leave working procedures ALONE!

Unfortunately, there is no way to update the Bella 3104 keyboard from Xpress DV to Win 10. The Bella 3104 keyboard is a legacy keyboard that was designed for use with older operating systems, such as Windows XP and Windows Vista. It is not compatible with Windows 10.
If you are using the Bella 3104 keyboard with Windows 10, you may experience some compatibility issues. For example, the keyboard may not function properly in all applications, or the keyboard shortcuts may not work.
If you are experiencing compatibility issues with the Bella 3104 keyboard in Windows 10, you may want to consider purchasing a new keyboard that is compatible with Windows 10. There are many affordable keyboards available that are compatible with Windows 10.
Enter a valid product key. If Quark Xpress doesn't nag you for the key with an automatic dialog box, you will probably find the registration info entry in Preferences. If you have already entered the key, something corrupted the key file, so try entering it again.

I definitively solved this problem. Follow these steps: 1) Install first Quark Xpress 6.1 on a Windows XP PC. 2) Copy the entire directory of installed files (Normally c:\program files\quark) on a pen drive. 3) Install Quark Xpress 6.1 on your Windows 7 PC until the installation stops with 1720 error. 4) Abort the installations, then copy the Quark directory stored on your pendrive in c:\programs x 86 directory overwriting the existing one.
This way Xpress 6.1 works perfectly on a Windows 7 PC. Guaranteed!
