CLEAN INSTALL needed here.
Try un-installing again, but this time after the un-install, shut down completely for at least 30 seconds, and then restart.
This releases "Locked files" for deletion
Then do a search for 'all files and folders' - search for both Broderbund and then Printmaster, with the options "Search system folders", "Search hidden files and folders" and "Search subfolders" checked. Delete all of those files found.
You should do this search and delete whenever you un-install any programs. It will remove lots and lots of leftover junk files and corrupted files taking up room on your hard drive. It will also give you a "clean install" when you reinstall or install an updated program. (Do this ESPECIALLY when updating to a NEW anti-virus programs and “Internet Security Suite” programs such as McAfee or Norton etc.)
BEFORE RE-INSTALLING Printmaster
Download and install "Registry Mechanic" then do the updates prior to running it and removing anything for the first time. This will get rid of all your current Registry errors, prior to installing or reinstalling.

Our business has been using Printmaster 15 for a few years now. We recently bought a new computer with windows 7. Printmaster 15 is obviously not compatible with Windows 7. I bought printmaster 2011...

You can try version 15 in compatibility mode:

Troubleshoot Compatibility
This can help with some (but not all) programs/drivers:
1) Uninstall the program if it's already installed. Then when you install/reinstall it instead of double clicking on the install file right click it and select "Troubleshoot Compatibility"
2) Then click "Try Recommended Settings" and in the next window click "Start the Program" to install it.
3) After it installs see if it works correctly. Please note - some programs may not be able to run in Windows 7.

I have printmaster 12 on my computer and want to uninstall it. I do not have the install CD anymore, can you help with that?

Go to start, programs, control panel, and then to the uninstall/install programs wizard. I can't describe what you will see exactly without knowing the version and setup of your operating system.

If for some reason you cannot see Printmaster listed in programs when you try to unistall, go to start and then to your print master program entry.

Often, programs have an uninstall built in. If it doesn't, you can leave comments for me during the ratings process and I will answer any questions you many have.

Please leave as much info on what you saw/encountered as possible so I can help effectively. Happy new year.

How to configure Printmaster 12

melodie roba,
Most definitely this could be your problem! I would reccomend that you completely uninstall Printmaster 12, run another virus check, then reinstall the program. Once the program is installed, update it through the vendor and it should work fine. You should be able to find the vendor (PrintMaster) updates through the help menus.

Hope this helps,

Uninstalling printmaster silver 12

First I would uninstall the program again.
Then go to start, search and look for PMUSERS.dat and delete it.
Restart your computer
It is also a good thing to temporaily turn off any antivirus software before installing also. Many programs like this Broderbund product do not install completely with the antivirus software on.
Then reinstall the program and it should run ok.

Hope this helps.

Sorry about the first post...my cat stepped on the keyboard!

I have PrintMaster Silver 12. I installed it on my computer and checked all requirements, which I have lots of room to run this program. It will install on my computer, however after finishing the install...

It is a large and complicated program. I would suggest uninstalling and reinstalling with all other proggys including virus control turned off. Make sure you turn off proggys that have a little icon in the lower right corner. Make sure that you use the right discs for installing and program and don;t remove them too soon. Good luck.

My documents will not open that I set in Print Master 16 eorrs come up when I try to open it

If you are trying to open it outside of the printmaster program, you have to change the format of the document or picture to a jpeg and open it in your photo program. You should be able to open it if you have printmaster installed on the computer that you are trying to open it in.
