My new computer runs with windows vista by my printmaster silver 12 cd does not work. What do i need to do?

Printmaster 10 may not work with Windows 7. Just uninstall Printmaster 2012 then install Printermaster 10 using the installation CD.
I recommend you go to the Printmaster support site and ask them if version 10 will work with Windows 7 so you do not have to uninstall 2012 version if version 10 will not work with Windows 7.

i would uninstall it then reboot your computer and then reinstall it. The software is fully working in vista and windows 7. So i am guessing there was a hiccup when copying files during install. I would also check drive c: or whatever drive you are installing it to , for errors

printmaster came with a driver for Vista but in the new ver. not for the old one...sorry

I am guessing that your new computer has windows vista on it. That may be the reason Printmaster 12 will not install. Certain programs or their installations are not compatible with Vista.

I'm not sure what errors you are getting, and I am assuming you are running Windows Vista, so again I'm just guessing.

You could try to launch the setup program manually and using compatibility mode by following these steps:

1. Insert your installation disk.
2. Click the start button

3. Click on Computer
4. Right click on the drive containing your installation CD
5. Select Explore from the menu.
6. Find the Setup or Install file in the list.
7 Right click on it.
8. Select Properties.
9 Select the Compatibility tab at the top.
10. check "Run this program in compatibility mode for"
11. In the drop down menu select windows xp
12. check "disable visual themes"
13. Check "run this program as administrator" (if it is available)
14 click OK

15 now double click on the setup/install program.

I hope this solves your problem.
Thanks!

You can buy a new version here, But as far i can see in the system requirements they do not mention windows vista, so I do not know if it will run under vista??

Please rate my answer

You might have a problem with your CD/DVD drive. Try inserting the CD in another computer. If the files are shown, replace your CD/DVD drive or just add another CD drive to an empty bay of your computer.

Reinstall printmaster 10 from the old to the new that will fix your problem on your new laptop.
enjoy

downgrade too XP 10 is not compatible with Vista

the question was regarding PrintMaster Silver 12, although it was posted in the PrintMaster Platinum 16 forum.

Anyway, Broderbund has the instructions on their web site
