I am importing 500+ pic to My Gallery. How do I select all so I don't have to import each pic individually? I am using PrintMaster Platinum 17

Lest's star by telling you neither me nor FIXYA had ever released any version of Printmaster Platinum 17. OK? So, if you want to contact authors of this sofware, ENCORE SOFTWARE

Now, HAVING SAID THIS, dd you use ever Printmaster Platinum 17 with Windows 7? I understand that it is for Windows XP.
I'm no sure what kind of a mess you made with it uninstalling or removing but well, try to reinstall your original SETUP version in Windows XP COMPATIBLITY MODE
Befor you instal it cricght click setuo, select Properties, click on tab Comatibility and select option Windows XP Comatibility mode
If won'r work, I find no way to help you,

Check this link for the step by step way in installing this software but this is for 'PRINTMASTER' PLATINUM VERSION 17 but dont worry its just have the same procedure in installing the 'PRINTMASTER' PLATINUM VERSION 16, this is the link

Hope that helps.........

You can try version 15 in compatibility mode:

Troubleshoot Compatibility
This can help with some (but not all) programs/drivers:
1) Uninstall the program if it's already installed. Then when you install/reinstall it instead of double clicking on the install file right click it and select "Troubleshoot Compatibility"
2) Then click "Try Recommended Settings" and in the next window click "Start the Program" to install it.
3) After it installs see if it works correctly. Please note - some programs may not be able to run in Windows 7.

There is no patch/update available from Broderbund, to make PrintMaster® Platinum 17 Full Version compatible Win7.

you can download the manual from my website

you will see it is around the fourth entry on the link

Here's my solution: Don't waste your time and money on, use a program other than PrintMaster! PDF is universally accepted across formats/browsers/OS ...what kind of program would not export THE most commonly used format????

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.

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!!

I finally figured it out. Somehow I had messed with the Autoplay settings uploading pics the last time I guess. Anyways, if you experience this problem, check this out first and see if it fixes it for you before you do anything else:

What if the import dialog box doesn't appear? If the dialog box prompting you to import your pictures doesn't appear when you connect the camera to your computer, AutoPlay might be turned off. You can import your pictures using Windows Photo Gallery instead. Here's how:
1. Open Windows Photo Gallery by clicking the Start button , clicking All Programs, and then clicking Windows Photo Gallery.
2. On the toolbar, click File, and then click Import from Camera or Scanner.
3. In the Import Pictures and Videos dialog box, choose your camera from the list of devices, and then click Import.
If you prefer, you can turn on AutoPlay or set AutoPlay to automatically import pictures from a digital camera. For more information, see Change AutoPlay Settings.

workaround. try insert instead of import save to widows instead your software is faulty and cleaning the disc maybe all that is required if not buy another disc yours might be scratched.
