Hi.

If this happens with a single disk, then the problem is the disk. If the player does not recognise any disk, then it is either a lens problem or a faulty drive. Please get back to me to know more.

Hello.

Here are the steps:

1. In Tools/Options/General Options, check the box beside "Optimal Printing Resolution".

2. Go to File/Printer Setup/Printer Setup.

3. Under "Name" select Broderbund PDF Converter v2.10d

4. Next, go to File/Professional Printing.

5. Select "Save As PDF".

6. At the next screen, type the name of the PDF file you want to save in "Project Name".

7. Under "PDF Resolution", select 600 dpi.

8. Click on "Save As". In the next window, browse to the folder in which you want to save the file (for example: My Documents).

9. Click on the "Save" button.

10. PrintMaster will save the PDF file to the folder you selected.

11. Open the file in Adobe Acrobat to make sure all the elements and pages are there and that it looks as expected.

12. Once you are satisfied, upload this file to Print Pelican.

There are two caveats: 1. Because it is made to print cards and calendars to your laser or ink-jet printer, PrintMaster expects page sizes to be standard ones such as 11" x 17" or 8.5" x 11". Custom page sizes (such as 7" x 10") may not work properly. 2. Do not use backgrounds or elements that print to the edge of the page. This is a feature that will not print properly from PrintMaster. Make sure your pages have white margins with nothing printing on them.

Not compatible or not working well with windows 7?
(make your program/application run with windows 7)

Maybe, It doesn't work because the driver/application you installed is for other versions of operating system. I am also using windows 7 like you so don't you worry, You can still use your old installer/driver from other versions of operating systems. Just remember that before installing any program in a windows 7 Operating System Computer, Use "troubleshoot compatibility". Right Click the Icon of your program installer/application first, then choose "troubleshoot compatibility". This will allow you to choose on what type operating system your program will run. Just reply back if it still doesn't work.:D rate and vote for me:))

yes can be, just follow these steps:

Have you installed the printer's drivers/softwares? Is the printer detected by the computer? Let me know with more details, it not possible to assume since you didn't mention the exact problem, only cannot find my printer by your installed programs isn't enough... First, check the connection and make sure it's detected by the computer, secondly, verify that the correct drivers is installed on your computer.

You can download the drivers here (Click Here) [hp software included]

Check the Broderbund site for any drivers updates.

printmaster came with a driver for Vista but in the new ver. not for the old one...sorry

Broderbund software is often lousy to uninstall, leaving bits and pieces behind, including often registry keys no longer needed.
I would try it through the Add/remove programs function in the control panel as long as you have the restore routine keeping a backup of your system in case the removal takes something away with it that you need. It doesn't take long to get a system back to where it once was.

Hello,

Installation and execution of certain software require administrator account. If you have an account with limited privileges you should contact the computer administrator.




Hope it helps.

I am sad to say that you can not revert to an over written file.. except the possiblity of doing a reverting to an early restore point.

Microsoft has error 1305 as an "error reading from file."
