Can't install new software printshop deluxe 3.5 for windows on windows 8.1

I now have PrintShop 23.1 up and running on my Windows 8.1. This is what worked for me:
1. First, RIGHT CLICK on the Printshop icon on your desktop, select Properties, click on Compatibility, and make the selection to run the program in Compatibility Mode for Windows 8. Click Apply, then OK to exit.
2. Double click the Printshop icon on your desk top to open Printshop. If it works - great! However, if it does NOT work, it means the .NET framework required to run the program was uninstalled or corrupted by the Windows 8.1 upgrade and needs to be reinstalled, so please do the following.
3. From your Control Panel, select Programs and Features; in Programs and Features, uninstall Printshop. (You get to the Control Panel by clicking on Settings in your desktop popout taskbar, usually on the right side.) 4. Check to make sure the Microsoft .NET framework is also uninstalled. If not, attempt to uninstall. If you have recently gone to Windows 8.1, it may be partly or fully uninstalled because the 8.1 upgrade might have removed (or damaged) part of it. If it will not uninstall, don't worry! Proceed . . . 5. Follow this step even if you see no sign of the .NET framework in Programs and Features. It is almost certain that you have debris from it on your computer because this is a known problem, and Printshop will not reinstall unless the debris is removed. THEREFORE, clean your computer by using the Microsoft .NET Framework Cleanup Tool found at the following link:

6. AFTER Printshop is once again installed, it will very likely NOT RUN unless you follow Step #1, above, to run it in Windows 8 Compatibility Mode.

Hi deanpaschal,

Sorry to hear about the issue your having.

Here's a listing on ebay.com for the CD:

BRODERBUND FAMILY TREE MAKER DELUXE 8 CD SET SOFTWARE VERSION 6 Q28

Good luck!

I will advice you to locate the print-shop folders that are on your computer. or simple open one of the files you created with this software and right click file location. it will open where all the other files are stored on your computer. backup everything stored on your computer to a flash drive.
Let me know if this solution helps.

The Print Shop version 20 Deluxe for PC is not compatible with Windows 7. The newer Version 23 is compatible. This is due to software compatibility issues with Windows 7.

You can check for Win 7 Compatibility for "software or hardware" @ Windows 7 Compatibility Center

It will not run on Win 7, even when you are using the Compatibility Mode options. Too bad you have to get the newer version 23.


Hope it helps.

This website has printshop for free! I found it a little while back and it helped me with the same problem!

Yes,Printshop Delux 2.0 does work on Windows 7.

I suggest that you tell us EXACTLY what the error-message stated.

Or, start the Windows Program Compability Wizard, and tell Windows 7 that you want to install a Windows XP program.
Then, install the software.

You might be trying to loading a 32 bit software packege to a 64 bit operating system. See it the store has a 64 bit version. Or you could upgrade the OS with the microsoft pro packege.

Thanks

Install the new drivers.
