Printmaster and Windows Vista

Broderbund PrintMaster Gold 16.0 is not compatible with Vista.
Platform: Windows 98 / 2000 / Me / XP

You can try to use Vista compatibility mode to run older programs in Vista. There is not guarantee that it will work!!! Please take note:- **The installation of an older program to run in a newer OS may also crash your PC too.

Good luck.

Printmaster Platinum 16 is not compatible with Vista or windows 7.

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:))

Printmaster 16 will work with Vista and Windows 7, you need to run setup.exe as administrator.

Here's my solution: Don't waste your time and money on, use a program other than PrintMaster! PDF is universally accepted across formats/browsers/OS ...what kind of program would not export THE most commonly used format????

Hi there, i think you have to buy the new version of it, it does not work with vista you can see it here (It writes windows 98-xp):

You can buy a new version here, But as far i can see in the system requirements they do not mention windows vista, so I do not know if it will run under vista??
