I have printmaster 15 on my computer but would like to uninstall it, i have no use for it. i dont have the disks for 15, only the disks for 17. how can i remove this.

Lest's star by telling you neither me nor FIXYA had ever released any version of Printmaster Platinum 17. OK? So, if you want to contact authors of this sofware, ENCORE SOFTWARE

Now, HAVING SAID THIS, dd you use ever Printmaster Platinum 17 with Windows 7? I understand that it is for Windows XP.
I'm no sure what kind of a mess you made with it uninstalling or removing but well, try to reinstall your original SETUP version in Windows XP COMPATIBLITY MODE
Befor you instal it cricght click setuo, select Properties, click on tab Comatibility and select option Windows XP Comatibility mode
If won'r work, I find no way to help you,

Check this link for the step by step way in installing this software but this is for 'PRINTMASTER' PLATINUM VERSION 17 but dont worry its just have the same procedure in installing the 'PRINTMASTER' PLATINUM VERSION 18, this is the link

Hope that helps.........

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.
More details about how to make older programs run in this version of Windows:

You could try and delete the program from your program file folder.
Then run a program like ccleaner to clean up your registry

printmaster 1 was for windows 98, ver 17 is for XP. it depends where your saved projects are. if they are on CD media then that is READ ONLY and they must first be transferred to a C:\ drive and their ATTRIBUTES for each and every file/folder of the project need to have the Read Only attribute removed. you can do that via CMD.exe eg if your project was inside a folder called c:\myprojects\????? then you would type in ATTRIB/S c:\myprojects\*.* -R then your projects might be valid as they could be UPDATED/Altered by the new version but thats just a guess.

May have to uninstall it first, then reinstall it.

Click START button, lower left corner
then click Control panel
then click on add or remove programs

*see if your product is listed(may be under BRODERBUND or other publisher name)
If it IS listed, uninstall it

Or sometimes the UNINSTALL is included in the CD options:
Insert the cd into the drive
go to my computer
find the cd drive
right-click the drive
select "explore"
Look for an Uninstall program

Hope this helps!

Uninstall the software and then restart the computer and re-install it and see what happens. That should cure the problem.

Make sure you can see all the files. (My computer --> Tools --> Folder Options ---> View (tab) --> <Select 'Show hidden files ...' option.
Find the folder you have indicated. C:\DOCUME~1\Jan\LOCALS~1\Temp\{A35C2323-3CEA-405C-9569-EF5DDE930B2F}

Delete that flder.
Restart the computer and reinstall the software.

your computer is being a pig. dont worry about uninstalling your printer, just add another printer and make this one the default printer. you can just ignore the other one...........shimple.

Uninstall everything by using any unistaller software like ashampoo, after that reinstall printmaster platinum without any applications running on the background
