SOURCE: I have the Printmaster Platinum Version17 , I cannot save to pdf files?

As a work around untill we can figure this issue out. http://www.acrosoftware.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp
This is a FREE PDF Print to file program.

At the top left of the page the are links to the PDF Creator and the Required GPL Ghostscript 8. The program will not function without it. Both programs work with x64 Vista. Read the website for the other benifits or the program.

SOURCE: I WOULD LIKE TO CONVERT

If I was in your place I would use a direct connection if both computer's are connected to the internet ...and in the same default gateway ..its easy ..cause you can find the other computer into my network places folder..after you select the view workgroup computers task ...You will have to disable the firewall in both machines and after that you will have access on the other computer just like in my computer folder..and copy files...
If they are not on the same workgroup...than you can use a remote control program to transfer the files directly ..THis one will do the job ..,all you have to do is to install it on both machines ..open in the remote one ..and in yours..and get the ed and password offered by the program and connect to it ..after that you basically have ful access to it ..even tranfer files..
here is the program :http://www.teamviewer.com/index.aspx
If the machines are not connected to the internet than the only way is to use a large memory stick or an external hard drive ...or just get the hard drive from the one you need the files and connect it temporary to the other one ..and you will find its partition in My computer ..after that just copy paste the files in the other partition from the computer you intend to use..

SOURCE: I am using an old (but good) Printmaster Platinum

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:))

SOURCE: I have used PrintMaster 10

The only solution with this older software that will work is to use a computer (virtual, dual-boot, or true second machine) with an older version of Windows installed. If you have Win7 Pro or Ultimate (or are willing to upgrade to one of these versions), you can create a virtual XP computer for free. Download and install Virtual PC and XP mode from Microsoft. Install them in order. Then install the XP software in the virtual computer and it will work. (Other virtual computer programs are Parallels and VMWare.) All of the other options will require a licensed version of the older Windows OS. Please note that the virtual computer can't share files directly with the main computer. You'll need to save files to external or removable media (optical media or flash drive, for example) to share them. You can't have a printer installed on both the main computer and the virtual one at the same time. You will be asked to uninstall the printer if you try.

Your other option is to upgrade to PrintMaster Platinum 18.1, see http://www.broderbund.com/ for details, which is compatible with Windows 7. This will import your Printmaster 10 projects.


I hope this helps.

I have an old workpad IBM C3, I would like to transfer all my data on my new windows 7 computer. What shall I do? (It worked with windows XP but I don't remember what I did to install a driver pilot)

You need to download the Desktop manager and Hotsync for your WordPad C3. For your old device, you'll need 4.1.4.

I have an old Princeton VL 173 that I had been using with an old computer running Windows XP Pro. It works fine. Got a computer with an Asus MB and a Intel Core 2 Quad running Windows 7 Home Premium...

It sounds like a driver/software issue. When you ran the Princeton VL173 on XP you probably had all the correct software for your video card and the correct drivers to support your video output. When you changes OS to Windows 7, the XP drivers are no longer in place. My best guess is that you need to find and install the correct drivers for your system video and for your video card that are Windows 7 compatible. The old XP drivers will not work in Windows 7.

I am running XP with a Princeton VL173. It works great. I identified the correct video drivers for my system and installed them. My video card is nVidia 8800GT. I downloaded and installed the latest software from nVidia and installed it. It runs like a champ.

Several months ago my display died. It was just blank -- black. I tried using a power supply (AC adapter) from an old HP printer that died, and it worked! The plugs were identical, and the power output profiles were very nearly identical. It has been rinnung great for many months now.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

You don't need to buy another license for XP, you can use your old license.

MISSING AVIRA ICON IN CONTROL PANEL and Security center

There may be a malware on your system, a malware has forced the umbrella to close when you drag the mouse over it. try reinstalling your system or change another antivirus program like AVG. i recommend you reinstall that avira of yours and try AVG, Kasperksy or Bitdefender. These three antiviruses are good. Ive been using it in my system for years and it doesnt cause a problem. Pm me for more info.
