You tried to start the layout editor and the "Grapical Screen Painter" option is set in your Workbench settings. However, the graphical layout editor is not available. Possible reasons include:

- You have insufficient memory resources on your frontend to start the graphical layout editor process.

- The system was unable to find the Graphical Screen Painter program.

- The system was unable to execute the Graphical Screen Painter program.

- Your frontend operating system does not support the graphical layout editor. It is supported on the following platforms

Windows 98 and subsequent releases

- You do not use any GUI for Windows.

For an overview of all presently known causes and for tips on how to remove them, see Note 204910.

System Response
