It may be possible. First, create a new project on Printmaster 2019 and save it. There's no need to actually print it, just save it. Go to the folder where you saved the new project and look at the file type. Is it a SIG file? If so, you may import (or copy and paste) your older saved projects into the same folder as the new saved project. Then the older projects can be opened in Printmaster 2019.
If the new project file type is not SIG then note what type it is. Next, make a copy of the older saved projects folder. Open the copied folder. Left-click to highlight a project, then right-click on it and select "Rename". Keep the same project name, but change the file type from SIG to the new file type used in Printmaster 2019. Next, try opening that renamed project with Printmaster 2019. If the old renamed project is compatible with Printmaster 2019 it will open, ready to use. If it does not open ready to use then your only hope is to contact Printmaster tech support (probably by email) and ask if there's a fix to make older projects compatible.
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.
Are you sure it's uninstalled and just not unlisted in "All Programs"?
Go to Computer > C: drive > Program Files >...look for Broderbund or PrintMaster in the list of folders. If you see one, open the folder and look for Printmaster.exe. That will be the program. Right-click on the file, choose Send To and choose Desktop. That will create a shortcut for you.
Contact the Printmaster people to get the updated drivers and software for the changeover to 64 bit Vista.
OTherwise, look on their CD or DVD for a folder that is identified by Vista and under that, a folder for the 64 bit drivers. There may be a folder on the distribution DVD or CD which can help you make that change.
Most programs like this leave behind "junk" files or folders with some information in them.
Try uninstalling it again, then go to the C:\ drive and look for any folders that it might have left behind. Then go to Start do a search for PMUSERS.dat and delete it.
Use window search find the file and delete I did what was at support and it did not work I found this file in all users folder deleted it and all is well
CLEAN INSTALL needed here. Try un-installing again, but this time after the un-install, shut down completely for at least 30 seconds, and then restart.
This releases "Locked files" for deletion Then do a search for 'all files and folders' - search for both Broderbund and then Printmaster, with the options "Search system folders", "Search hidden files and folders" and "Search subfolders" checked. Delete all of those files found. You should do this search and delete whenever you un-install any programs. It will remove lots and lots of leftover junk files and corrupted files taking up room on your hard drive. It will also give you a "clean install" when you reinstall or install an updated program. (Do this ESPECIALLY when updating to a NEW anti-virus programs and “Internet Security Suite” programs such as McAfee or Norton etc.) BEFORE RE-INSTALLING Printmaster
Download and install "Registry Mechanic" then do the updates prior to running it and removing anything for the first time. This will get rid of all your current Registry errors, prior to installing or reinstalling.
