Can not install Print Shop Pro Publisher Version 21 will not load on Windows 7

Double check that none of your printer's jets is blocked (test page!) and convince Print Shop and your printer's settings that your process colors are the ones in the printer, e.g. RGB or CMYK versus CKMY, 7-color, etc.

according to their site its not compatible to Win 7 means it can install but not all most all the functions are available but they are up to release a new version with compatible to win 7

I would try installing another pdf printer, like the free PDFCreator. That way you could just choose a different printer from your Broderbund software, and print the same file to PDF.

Give it a shot :)
Good Luck

Print Shop 11 can be purchased here: http://www.amazon.com/Print-Shop-Deluxe-11-0-Version/dp/B00004W4CT , newer version can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001B5J2UW/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B00004W4CT&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0550T9M1DZSN5J7NR7RS , it says compatible with Windows Vista/XP but Vista and Windows 7 are almost always compatible with eachother.

Here is a link that will check compatibility, http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Search.aspx?type=Software&s=print%20shop%20pro%20publisher%2023

You may want to uninstall the program and then install in compatibility mode, the link below will guide you through this,

If the above does not work, you may want to contact the software developers to see if any updates can be used to fix the problem.

Print Shop version 21 Deluxe is not compatible with Windows 7. You have to use a newer version 23 which is compatible. This is due to software compatibility with Windows 7.

You can check forcompatibilites issues @ Windows 7 "software & hardware" compatibility center

Print Shop Pro Publisher version 11 was built for Platform OS: Windows 98 / Me / 95. It is an old software which is not for Windows 7(x86 or x64) OS. This is due to software compatibility issues with Windows 7 ie an old software running on a newer OS Platform.

You have to get a newer version which is compatible with Win 7.

Hope it helps.

Hello Friend,
This version is not supported by Vista, you have to upgrade it to "The Print Shop® Pro Publisher™ Deluxe 22 " version.

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

Save as PDF vs File | Print to PDF

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
