Apparently, according to someone who posted a response to the same
question last week, you need to uninstall a number of fonts from your
Windows/Fonts folder. Do that. Reboot. Try again.

Does anyone else reading this have another suggestions.

What? Isn't the right answer good enough?

(WHY are you xposting to illustrator and photoshop groups?)
Remove ALL but the system fonts (arrange by date helps you see
which is which) and see what happens.
PM7 was released only because 6.52 wouldn't run on XP. So maybe
7 won't run on older Windows, 500 fonts or no fonts.
Are you one of those guys who gets the "latest" version no
matter what?
BTW, get a font loader/manager. It is insane to have 200 or
2,000 or 6,000 fonts loaded and in memory all the time. I
recommend the one from Moon Software.

... it's possible that your Windows/Adobe registry is messed up.
Is PM the only Adobe product you have loaded? If not, if you have several
other Adobe apps loaded and the "owner" info is different on each one, it'll
pop an error. In my case, I used my company name on one registration and my
name on another and it confused the registry. They do that, I think, to curb
people using their apps illegally. For me, once I went into the registry and
changed all the "owners" to one name, it fixed the problem.
I figure it's at least a look?

Because PM is long out of date and most of the help I have received in the past came from these other Adobe groups.

Thanks. I just now tried that and same result.

PM7 runs fine on other machine here with Win98SE

I read the other reply and I get it now. There is a guy who
hangs out here by the nym of Helpful Harry who knows just about
everything about PM. I am surprised he hasn't responded. He may
be on vacation or something.

Weird. You may have a very good reason for not being able or
willing to do so, but I can't help asking, why not just stick to
the 98SE machine then? I still use 95B and 98SE on my 2
computers and I ain't /never/ moving on!

Hee hee, well, I just meant why get 7 when AFAIK it did nothing
6.52 didn't - except run on XP?

Check back every couple of days to see if HH has surfaced. He is
almost certain to have the solution. Have you tried the Adobe
website forums?

Why ask? If it works, it works. Apparently it didn't for almost
everybody so Adobe rewrote it for XP. Details were not
disclosed. I wouldn't touch XP with a 100 foot pole so I can't
comment further.
