Alan, good day. no PC told, makers name and model ( and super hard to guess me) quark 7 is an app for word press. i guess and is unrelated. ! no OS told, at all, windows (what V) MAC, android, Chrome, Linux? what OS? does the keyboard work in BIOS correctly then the keyboard is ok and the unstated OS is a wreck. or , (ESP day) the keyboard has 104 keys are you saying the all fail, NO. bingo below (MY ESP) or just the KEYPAD right side is wrong,(below numlock) but a 104 keyboard, PAD never does letters. ever on the PAD !!! so this must be (unstated) undersized laptop? that has those horrid, key PADS stuffed into the main A to Z board. set. and those are a pain, they have 3 levels, via FN key use. the manual on your PC shows who to USE the KEYPAD it shows on some how to set the way it works in BIOS settings one cure easy is buy external real keyboard 104 keys. bingo; or learn to use yours, via RTM read the manual, there are special Fn keys to use, no 2 PC do this same way, ever. (brand/model) got a PC like this,??? with super undersized keyboard. NO PC TOLD I guess and show this. a prime example the blue letters on this kbd , mean virtual keyPAD

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!

Need to buy a newer version to use with Windows 10. https://www.justanswer.com/computer/b5w2m-install-quark-4-1-laptop-using-windows-10.htm

no problem

The file extension for your quark file is not being recognized as belonging to any any application installed on your computer or the file extension was lost when you transferred the file (in which case, you can rename the file and put the file extension back on, e.g. change MyFile to MyFile.qxp). I'm assuming that you still have Quark installed on the computer you are trying to open the file on. If not, you should install it, which will resolve the problem. You can try repairing an existing installation: Look in your control panel for programs installed on your computer. Click on the Quark installation to see if a change or repair option is shown for it. If so, attempt a repair, which may solve the problem.

Good

This is for Quark on a Mac. What you could do is go to users then which ever user is the active one then library then preferences then quark then QuarkXPress 6.0 (or may say 6.5) in this folder is a file called "XPress Preferences.prf" move it to the trash (Do not empty the trash if it does not work you can replace the file back into the preference folder) and then start up Quark, it should rebuild the file.

Please note your preferences will be back to default and you will need to reset them.

Hope this helps.
