Hello,

the problem is that windows 7 is not compatible with Print-Master premier 7.0

The program cannot run on windows 7 because it wasn't programmed for it. This is why the error message comes up.

There is nothing you or anyone can do about this.

Sorry about this.

Regards.

Yes, according to their website it is compatible with Windows 7. If you click on Works With Windows 7 on their website, go to page 4 you will see PrintMaster Platinum 2.0 on there.

However, in case you will have trouble running it on Win 7, try the following: right click on the executable file that will start the application and click Properties. Select Compatibility tab and check the Windows version you know the program worked with before. You can find more about this Compatibility issue on Microsoft website: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

Check the Broderbund site for any drivers updates.

Thank you for your question.

In this instance it is easier to direct you to a video on the "Microsoft" website regarding installing older programmes. This is much clearer than trying to explain in writing.

All the best with your install.

Kind regards

I had a print master program which I used for a couple of years to make business cards I bought platinum 2.0 and it doesn't work the same ... I can't get it to print a sheet of 10 cards only one prints in the top left corner. I am using Win 7 ... should I go back to the old program and down load the updated drivers? or can you tell me how to fix my problem. Thanks Wayne

You should upgrade your Printmaster Software

You have to buy a new one.

Here's the Printmaster that compatible with Vista:

I understand that most old xp programs wont work on Vista. You might call the mfg. to see if they have a diver that would work with Vista.
Or some kind of other fix. I dought that they Have. New printer with vista software is probably in your future.

Hi,

All these type programs can be used ion vista.by simply selecting help/support/ type: old programs
Vista asks to use cd - then it is installed

very much like xp whenthey did it for win 98/95
