How can I properly draw a molecule on ChemSketch 10.0?

Question

I tried doing it like the tutorial says it should be done, but I keep getting an error which says "Exception EPrinter in module CHEMSK.EXE at 000416B7.
Printer selected is not valid." This is really annoying because, although I can sketch a molecule, I can't see what I'm sketching and I have to keep selecting the indivual atoms to have an idea of what I'm doing. This error also prevents me from changing the color of the background. What can I do?

Just wondered if after you downloaded & installed the software, did you reboot after?  Next thought is to remove from Control Panel/Add & Remove Programs, then reinstall the software.  When you downloaded did you save the *.exe file onto the hard drive before installing (sometimes works best to install from hard drive version rather than right from the download). 

Found these links that also might be of assistance:
(1) Table of Contents for ChemSketch.  Possibly it might give you some other angle of possibilities to solve your problem; (2) This is another tutorial;  (3) "Drawing your first molecule"; (4) This link has 2 links near the bottom of the screen for "FAQ" and "ACD/Labs Freeware Forum" to see if other users have dealt with the same issues; (5) "Chemical Structure Drawing" showing detailed instructions.

Hope this helps in some way.  Let me know.

He did nothing to prevent the 2nd great depression, as hardly any of the stimulous has kicked in, although Seldon must have a good dealer to beleive that. I have noticed he is pretty much ADHD, and also that he really doesn't have a clue.

CO has a triple, not a double bond. That's the reason the program keeps giving you formaldehyde as the answer.
