Blazer 3.0 Forms Upgrade

Run the below link to update all your Blazer 3 forms.

http://www.blumberglegalforms.com/blazer3/Forms/setup.exe

I'm getting errors about "Unable to Copy File" or other errors when I attempt to open a form.

It seems that Acrobat Reader or a newer version of Adobe Acrobat is installed on your computer.  We ship a full version of Acrobat with Blazer.

Blazer cannot work if Acrobat Reader is installed on the computer.  Follow the steps below to correct the problem.

Step 1 Go to "Start", "Settings", "Control Panel" and select "Add Remove Software" and remove all version of Adobe acrobat. Close the control panel

Step 2 Go to "Start", "Find" or "Search", "Files and Folders", search for the files named ACRO*.EXE found anywhere on you hard drive and remove them by right clicking on the file and deleting.

Step 3. Reinstall the FULL version of Adobe Acrobat using the Blazer disc or your the full version 4 or version 5  of Adobe Acrobat disk.

Step 4. Reinstall Blazer. Do not select any forms.

NOTE - If you do not have a full version of Acrobat on you computer, you will be asked for 2 different serial numbers. The Adobe serial number is to the right of the hole in the CD.

I'm getting the error – Invalid filename

One of the folders in the Graphics folder, found under the Blazer 2 folder is bad.
To fix this –
1. Go to Windows Explorer ( right click on START button and select explorer)
2. Go to the Blazer 2 folder and double click.
a. In the Blazer 2 folder you will see the Graphics folder. This folder contains all the blank forms. You must delete the entire Graphics folder!
3. Go to this page to look for the Blazer 2 forms.
4. Select a form category. These are small installation programs that you can run from the Internet. i.e. you don’t have to save them to disk just run them or open them from the internet. Each file will install the appropriate forms to you Blazer program automatically.
5. Try the program and it should work fine now.

I'm having issues installing Blazer or the forms from CD.

If you are using Windows 2000, NT or XP. some installations of Windows will have this problem. A quick fix is as follows:

1. Open Windows Explorer (Right click on the START button and select Explore)

2. Create a temporary folder anywhere on the C: Drive

3. Copy the entire CD ROM to that folder

4. From Windows Explorer (Right click on the Start button), Select the temp folder you just created

5. Right click on the folder and select properties.

6. Under the General tab you will see attributes. Make sure the "read-only" tag is unchecked. Note: do this for all files in that folder and sub folders.

7. Run setup from this temporary folder.

8. After setup is complete you can remove the temp folder.

If this still doesn't fix the problem, contact Blumberg at 1-800-221-2972 ext. 565 to order a replacement CD.

My printouts are incorrect. The print is too big, too small, the wrong font, etc.

Check the printer alignment
Check the printer setup and paper size
If the above steps do not solve the problem follow the below steps
Restart your computer
Reset your printer (consult your printer manual for instructions)

I need to print one of Blazer's Legal-sized forms but the printout is compressed and only prints on 11 inches of the 14 inch paper.

Make sure that you are telling windows that the print out is on 8.5 x 11 inch paper
From the form that you are working on click File | Printer Setup
Adjust the settings of the printer to reflect your print job
If you are using Windows XP or 2000, there is an incompatibility between Adobe Acrobat and Windows.
Until there is a fix from either of these we offer this solution
If you only use the forms of Legal size on rare occasions
Close down Blazer
Go to the Control Panel and select “Printers”
Select the printer you are using and go to the properties menu
Change the printer size to legal and exit
NOTE: Be sure this printer is selected as your default printer
Restart Blazer and it will default to the new printer driver.
When done, return to the Printer Driver and change it back to letter size
If you frequently use Legal size forms
Create a new printer driver with a different name
Before printing a Legal size document, change the default settings to the Legal size print driver
 

How do I tell how many counts I have left?

From the main menu, click File | Counter Functions
 

An error occurs when I try to use form # (given form) for Blazer 2.0

The files for that form have been corrupted, download a new form package from here
 

I’m getting other errors in Blazer 2.0/2.1.

Many of the recent errors we’ve received have stemmed from the installation of Adobe Acrobat 6.0 or Adobe Acrobat Reader (any version). Currently there is no workaround for the problems caused by Acrobat 6.0 other than removing it from the system and using an older version of Acrobat. In instances that Adobe Acrobat Reader is installed, Blazer includes Adobe Exchange so there is no need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed. Go to Add/Remove Programs in your Control Panel and remove Acrobat Reader to remedy most problems. If this still doesn’t solve your problem, Contact Us and we’ll try our best to remedy the situation
