    There is one step that needs to be added...5A, pick port type...I picked Local Port, followed the rest of the steps and it worked.

Printmaster 17 does not save as pdf files under

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????

Printmaster 17 won't open projects created in printmaster 11.

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.

Just got Windows 7 and trying to install printmaster gold 17...won't work. what do i do?

Windows 7 has a compatibility wizard that you can use to help install it. Go to start, control panel, and then type in troubleshooter in the search box. Under programs, click "run programs for other versions of windows." Follow those instructions. If you need to browse to the setup file on the disc, do so. If that does not work, you can go to Broderbund's web site. They have a compatibility update for Gold 17 on their website. Unfortunately it is for Vista, but it still might help you with the compatibility issue

workaround. try insert instead of import save to widows instead your software is faulty and cleaning the disc maybe all that is required if not buy another disc yours might be scratched.
