    It will work on Win 7 by starting 'XPmode Virtual PC' .. If you have Win7 pro and above you can install the program running in Virtual XP mode; If you have win 7 home premium and below you will have to install virtual xp and Winxp mode by downloading them from the Microsoft download site.. You can search Google for info on how to install Virtual PC and Win xp mode on Win 7 home premium.. I installed it on my Win 7 Pro 64 bit computer and it runs great.

Hello,

the problem is that windows 7 is not compatible with Print-Master premier 7.0

The program cannot run on windows 7 because it wasn't programmed for it. This is why the error message comes up.

There is nothing you or anyone can do about this.

Sorry about this.

Regards.

I bought a new computer with windows 7, have older version of printmaster permier 8.0 and it will not install. help

Hi lavernhess
There is no direct solution to this issue since there is no driver running under Windows 7 for your product .
You could install a virtual version of XP on your machine with http://download.cnet.com/VMware-Player/3000-2094_4-10470784.html or via Microsoft's if you are using Integral or Professional .
Otherwise , you will need to purchase a recent version of Printmaster compatible with W 7 , if available .
Best regards ,

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

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:))
