Print workshop 2004

One of the best things windows seven has is the full backwards compatibility with windows XP and Vista, to enable compatibility you must set up the installer file compatibility settings to windows xp by right clicking on the installer file and in the menu clicking on properties, browse trough tabs and you'll find the compatibility tab, set the compatibility settings to Windows XP click on apply and then on ok, then double click on the installer as usual, say yes to windows prompt and install the software, once installed try to run it, if the software is not running, browse through your start menu and find the program, right click on the program's shortcut and open the folder where your program is, then right click on the program's file and repeat the compatibility procedure I gave you before...

If you still have doubts about how to accomplish this write me back and we'll find a way to make it work together...

When a ‘clean’ install is done of Print Shop 22, exactly as described in this FAQ

'Clean' Install on Win98/Me/XP/2000/Vista/Win7

Print Shop 22 should install on a 64-bit version of Windows 7, with two incidents.

1. If .NET Framework 1.1 is not already installed on the computer, the "Program Compatibility Assistant” in Windows 7 will display this message
this program has know compatibility issues


To continue with the installation, select "Run Program". After .NET Framework 1.1 is installed, the necessary updates will be pulled from the Microsoft Windows Update Service.

2. After .NET Framework 1.1 is installed, the "Program Compatibility Assistant” in Windows 7 will display a message which says that there are compatibility issues with Print Shop 22 on Windows 7 64-bit. To continue with the installation of .NET Framework 1.1, select "Run Program".

NOTE: Even though the Print Shop 22 Vista patch, which can be found here

Download Vista Patch For The Print Shop 22 and PrintMaster 17 Disk Versions

can be installed on a 64-bit version of Windows 7, the patch will not fix the problem with the Amyuni Document Converter, as it does on a 32-bit version of Windows 7 (see above). So, it will not be possible to use the 'Save As PDF' option with Print Shop 22 on a 64-bit version of Windows 7. Instead, it will be necessary to install an alternate PDF driver, then Print to PDF, as is described in this FAQ

Save as PDF vs File | Print to PDF

So far, the only other known incompatibility with Print Shop 22 on a 64-bit version of Windows 7 is that Print Shop 22 cannot be run from a shortcut on the Dell Dock that is provided with many Dell computers. A Print Shop 22 shortcut can be placed on the Dell Dock; but, attempts to start Print Shop 22 from that Dell Dock shortcut will cause several incompatibility messages to be displayed

You could try installing the version 5 on your pc. There could be a compatability issue so follow the information below if it will not install.

The Windows® Vista Program Compatibility Wizard can allow older programs that were not designed for use with Windows® Vista to run on Windows® Vista.

The Program Compatibility Wizard prompts you to test the program in different modes (environments) and with various settings. For example, if the program was originally designed to run on Windows® XP, set the compatibility mode to Windows® XP and try running the program again. If successful, the program will start in that mode each time. The wizard also allows the use of different settings, such as switching the display to 256 colors and the screen resolution to 640 x 480 pixels.

To run the Program Compatibility Wizard, complete the steps below:

1. Close all programs and windows and return to the desktop.
2. Click the Start button on the Windows® taskbar. The Start Menu will appear.
3. Click on Control Panel. The Control Panel window will appear.
4. Click on Programs. Additional program options will display.
5. In the Programs and Features section click the link Use An Older Program With This Version of Windows. The Program Compatibility Wizard will launch.
6. Click Next to Continue.
7. Click the “I want to choose from a list of programs” radio button and click Next. A list of programs will display.
8. Select the program that is to run in a Compatibility Mode and click Next to continue. A list of Compatibility Modes will display.
9. Click the radio button next to the desired Compatibility Mode and click Next. A list of display settings will display.
   
   NOTE: These display settings are not available options in Windows® Vista. They are only available when running a program in Program Compatibility Mode. The only reason to choose either of these settings is if you are experiencing difficulty installing or running an older application designed to run in Windows® 95, Windows® ME or Windows® 98. If all options remain unchecked, then the current Colors and Screen Resolution settings will not be altered.
   
   By default, Windows® Vista uses visual themes that may change the appearance or behavior of other programs, especially those games or educational programs that include intensive graphics and animation. To prevent the visual themes from affecting these programs, check Disable Visual Themes.
   
   
10. Choose the desired display settings and click Next to continue. Administrator privilege options will display.
11. Choose the desired administrator privilege setting and click Next to continue. A Test Your Compatibility Settings window will display.
12. Verify that the settings are correct. And click Next to continue.
    
    NOTE: If the settings are not correct, click the Back button to return to the previous screen (or screens) and make the necessary changes.
    
    
13. With the correct settings selected and showing in the "Test Your Compatibility Settings" window, click Next. The selected program will launch.
14. Run the program to test the settings.
15. After testing the settings, or close the program to return to the Program Compatibility Wizard.
    
    NOTE: After the program is closed, a window with the question "Did the program work correctly?" will appear. The "Yes. Set this program to always use these compatibility settings" will be selected.
    
    
16. If the program functioned properly using the compatibility mode that was selected above click Next. The Program Compatibility Data window will open.
    
    NOTE: If the program did not function correctly, click "No, try different compatibility settings" and complete the Wizard. After completing the wizard, try the program again.
    
    
17. Choose Yes or Now and click Next to continue. The Completing the Program Compatibility Wizard window will appear. Click Finish to close the window.
18. Launch and use the program.

NOTE: If you have questions regarding the Program Compatibility Wizard or Windows® Vista (or both), contact Microsoft®, or go to http://www.microsoft.com for additional information.

Hate to say it, because I use Vista myself, but it seems that the program "Print Worshop 2008" not really that compatible with Vista...even though they claim that it will work fine. Just another compatibility bug within the two programs. Try first updating your system with all patches, and service packs, or download 2009 version of Print Workshop. I would also try contacting Valusoft.(Valusoft.com). Ask them to send you the newest version (they should send it to you for free if you bought the older version and it is not working)

Most programs written for Windows XP also work in this version of Windows, but some older programs might run poorly or not at all. If a program written for an earlier version of Windows doesn't run correctly, use the Program Compatibility Wizard to change the compatibility settings for the program. To change settings for a program manually, use the individual program's Compatibility tab.
If changing the settings does not fix the problem, go to the program manufacturer's website to see if there is an update for the program.

How to Run the Program Compatibility Wizard 1. Open the Program Compatibility Wizard by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Programs, and then clicking Use an older program with this version of Windows.
2. Follow the instructions in the wizard.

If you cannot install a program, insert the installation disc for the program and, using the wizard, browse to the program's setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. The wizard is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.
To change compatibility settings manually for a program, right-click the icon for the program, click Properties, and then click the Compatibility tab.

Depending of the Workshop version, perhaps the program is not "Vsta Ready". Check the minimum requirements of the program and verify if it runs with Windows Vista
