I have Mavis Beacon teaches

What version of the typing program do you have? You have a few choices, depending on what OS runs the version you have.

If the program ran under Vista or XP (version 20 lists Vista compatibility), the compatibility mode is likely to work. For this, right click on the installer. Then choose Properties and then the Compatibility tab. Turn on Run program as Compatible with the appropriate OS. Then right click again on the installer and choose Run as Administrator. Then check if the program itself is running in the compatibility mode by right clicking again and choosing Properties.

If the compatibility mode doesn't work (for older versions of the software), you can use a computer (virtual, dual-boot, or true second machine) with an older version of Windows installed. If you have Win7 Pro or Ultimate, you can create a virtual XP computer for free. Download and install Virtual PC and XP mode from Microsoft. Install them in order. Then install the XP software on the virtual computer and it will work. (Other virtual computer programs are Parallels and VMWare.) All of the other options will require a licensed version of the older Windows OS. Please note that the virtual computer can't share files directly with the main computer. You'll need to save files to external or removable media (optical media or flash drive, for example) to share them.

Your final option is to upgrade to the current version. The 25th Anniversary edition runs under Windows 7. Other editions are not listed as compatible at the Broderbund site. You can try the Microsoft Windows 7 Compatibility Center for more information on tested software. My ISP is slow to connect to the site.

I hope this helps.

Cannot activate Family Lawyer

Welcome to Fixya

You need an activation key or serial numbers inorder to activate the software. Usually, the manufacturer is the one giving out the product key/serial number. You should be receiving this codes via email or mail. Did you already have the product key with you?

Thank you for using Fixya! If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/elixirjose_00375ea24bd8141b

I would advise you to contact the store you got it from immediately. After all, they sold you a copy you cannot install or activate, which means you're entitled to a refund or at least a replacement copy with a product code included.

My Printmaster Platinum Version 18

The problem your facing is often caused by a damaged disc. I'll outline two solutions for you, the first involves the disc itself.

1.) insert the disc into the drive, close the autorun screen (setup screen)
2.) click start / my computer
3.) right click the disc drive with your disc in it and click open
4.) hold ctrl and press a or click edit select all
5.) hold ctrl and press c or click edit copy
6.) minimize the window
7.) right click on your desk top and create a new folder, (call it anything you want)
8.) double click on the folder to enter it
9.) hold ctrl and press v or click edit paste
10.) all the fies from the disc will be copied to this folder, if completed without any errors, simply double click on the setup / install icon to install the program.


Method 2 if the above fails.

1.) click on this like http://www.filestube.com/5c66b8541a429ddc03e9,g/PrintmasterPro.html
thats an iso image file of the print master 18 disc
2.) download the file
3.) burn it off to a dvd using ultra iso, a trial version will ,do download it here
http://www.ezbsystems.com/ultraiso/download.htm
download it, install it, double click on the printmaster disc, iso file, burn it to a cd
4.) install it as you would but USE THE SERIAL NUMBER AND KEY FROM THE ONE you PURCHASED!. piracy is illegal and fixya does not condone it, but seeing as you already brought it you already have a serial number and key so you dont have to worry. the disc image has a readme file for extra instructions.

I want to delete Print

The best removal tool is revo uninstaller. (The free one will do the job!) It will check for all links and files and delete them for you. the medium setting is enough for most operations

I have the 3d home

Robin,

That is a very tall order. All the current versions of Windows will not accept 3d Home Architect. And only the older versions will. No one can do anything about it. Sorry about that. Older software is not compatible with current OSs.

Trying to load American Greetings

This software will need to be ran in compatibility mode as it was designed for Windows XP and will not work properly on Vista without running it in compatibility mode. Follow Microsoft's instructions here:

Reinstalling PrintShop 20 after 'computer

Hi


There are two things I need to know before I can solve the problem.

1. what windows is installed on the computer? Is it windows 2000, windows xp, windows vista, windows 7 or something else?


2. do you know if the windows is 64bit version? If you don't know, do you know how much RAM memory does the computer have? less than 4GB? more than 4GB?


To find out which version it is 32 or 64 hold down the windows key and press r, in the run menu that comes up write msinfo32 and click OK

Now on the system information page that opens, on the right of the window find system type
ekse_26.jpg


Tell me what it says there if you don't know if the computer has 64bit or 32bit windows installed.

Can not remove CreataCard Gold

If you have tried using the "Add/Remove" or the uninstaller from the software itself and cannot uninstall the program. Reinstall the program again and unistall it.

If it is not sucessfull, then
Try using the System Tools "System Restore" utility in XP to restore your Operating System to the point before you install the software.

Hope it helps.

Hi, I have a older

Yes, Gail, Some programs do not meet standards, as Operating Systems evolved, some programs designed for earlier OS jsut will not work. You need to get an updated version of the program that you like.

By the way, you should be looking forward to Windows 7. It just works, when set up correctly, finding stuff is faster, migration to different computers ususally does not need a techie, and newer hardware can only be run by the newer OS. It is a good thing.

The key is to upgrade while your old machine still works, then you can use a migration wizard that puts everything on the new machine, in the correct place. The file system works differently in Vista and 7, but it is close enough that you can find stuff.

I just received my printmaster

I just installed my PrintMaster Platinum 2011 today on my Mac. Your registration key # is printed directly on the DVD. If there are any zeros in the number and you think they're "O"s, it will say it's an invalid number. I had typed in "O"s and it said that. When I typed zeros it went through to the installation process. Hope this helps!
