Hi Vivienne.
I have not used PM for many years (DOS 6 & Win 3.1 days), so i'll just make an educated guess what the cause could be:
Your newer version, Printmaster 12, may use a different file-extension, in other words, image file format, to the original PM8.
Explorer may show the extension if set up for this otherwise use the DOS method via a Notepad-written batch-file, PMext_CD.cmd.
Flash drive, aka Pendrive should be in your USB.
This saves the hassle of remembering your default documents path.
Of course, if you have a second HDD for storage, use it for the output result file.
Let's assume flash is drive F: and CD is drive D:
Open Notepad, presuming your OS is WIN xx.
@echo off
D:
CD\
cls
echo.
echo SEARCHING.....
Echo CD_DRIVE D FILES>>f:\pmfiles_all.txt
dir/a/s/b>>f:\pmfiles_all.txt
cls
color 4E
echo.
echo CD SEARCH DONE !!
pause
exit
save "all files" as PMext_CD.cmd
You can do the same for your PM12 HDD folder.
Batch-file name = PMext_HDD.cmd
Note: the PM pictures may be stored in a zipped or encrypted database, which will render the batch-file useless.
Failing that, try found out who makes PM from the CD sleeve, email them directly.
Hope this helps you.
Clive.
SOURCE: Broderbund ClickArt cds not work'g w/Printmaster Platinum 17
Contacted Fixya's Support Team (Premium Service). Their proposed solution: be sure to install (copy) the other ClickArt CD art files into the same Art Gallery file folder as PM Plat 17. Have not tried it yet, but makes sense that it would work. Thanks for your help - Fixya later!!
SOURCE: Is it possible to install / import old PrintMaster 7.0 Art Discs?
When you put the Program install disk in follow the prompt but instead of selecting the "Typical" instalation select "Custom". This way the install will instruct you to select the two or one or none Art cd.s. I assume your copy of Printmast 17 Platinum has all 4 cd's?.If not then you will only have installed about clip 950 art etc. instead of 19,000 plus when you install the Art disk 1&2.
The only drawback is that the two art disc's add another 1gb to the hard drive usage.
I hope this helps.

SOURCE: I have PrintMaster Platinum V
I can not remember if you have this option in the program or not, but try and open the program, look for a menu called options or preferences. Look there for a menu that will allow you to copy all artwork to the hard drive. Hope this will Fix Ya up.

Based on your question, I am assuming you are looking to purchase this from anywhere you can find it. Amazon.com has it:

If purchasing another copy was not your intent, reply to this answer and let me know what you need. I hope this helps you!
