Just got a new windows 7 and wanted to use my Print Shop 22 Deluxe but says certain parts are not compatible. What do I do?

Print Shop 22 Deluxe is not compatible with Win 7 (x86 or x64bit) Operating.

You have to use the Print Shop 22 Deluxe version 23.1 - compatible with Win 7 & Vista.

Hope it helps.

You can use the Windows Vista Compatibility patch which works equally with Windows 7.

You can download it here.


When the download is complete, close the Download window. Locate and double-click the Broderbund_Print_Update.exe file that was downloaded to begin installing the update. Then follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation.

After the patch being installed, you can launch and use The PrintShop® 22.


Hope this helps!

Yo can go for a free upgrade to a compatible version.

Check with Broderbund - either it will work OK - some programmes do or you may have to buy an upgrade - when have you heard that before!!

if its a 32 bit it want work for windows 7.

hope it helps, if so do rate the solution

Read this forum thread, here.

Hope it helps.

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.

When a ‘clean’ install is done of Print Shop 22, exactly as described in this FAQ

'Clean' Install on Win98/Me/XP/2000/Vista/Win7

Print Shop 22 should install on a 64-bit version of Windows 7, with two incidents.

1. If .NET Framework 1.1 is not already installed on the computer, the "Program Compatibility Assistant” in Windows 7 will display this message
this program has know compatibility issues


To continue with the installation, select "Run Program". After .NET Framework 1.1 is installed, the necessary updates will be pulled from the Microsoft Windows Update Service.

2. After .NET Framework 1.1 is installed, the "Program Compatibility Assistant” in Windows 7 will display a message which says that there are compatibility issues with Print Shop 22 on Windows 7 64-bit. To continue with the installation of .NET Framework 1.1, select "Run Program".

NOTE: Even though the Print Shop 22 Vista patch, which can be found here

Download Vista Patch For The Print Shop 22 and PrintMaster 17 Disk Versions

can be installed on a 64-bit version of Windows 7, the patch will not fix the problem with the Amyuni Document Converter, as it does on a 32-bit version of Windows 7 (see above). So, it will not be possible to use the 'Save As PDF' option with Print Shop 22 on a 64-bit version of Windows 7. Instead, it will be necessary to install an alternate PDF driver, then Print to PDF, as is described in this FAQ

So far, the only other known incompatibility with Print Shop 22 on a 64-bit version of Windows 7 is that Print Shop 22 cannot be run from a shortcut on the Dell Dock that is provided with many Dell computers. A Print Shop 22 shortcut can be placed on the Dell Dock; but, attempts to start Print Shop 22 from that Dell Dock shortcut will cause several incompatibility messages to be displayed
