I had Printmaster 10 installed on my computer, but recently had to reload, I saved my invoice files to a disc, but they will not open up unless I reinstall Printmaster 10. I have Windows XP, and the disc will not install on my computer to open them up. I previously had XP, and it did install. I don't know if this version that was reinstalled is a different one or not. What can I do to reinstall it or is there an updated Printmaster program that I can install which will also open the Printmaster 10 files?

I suspect that when you re-installed 10 it corrupted in some way and did not install properly. If you are using the same computer as before and the same software disc as before, then unless you had an update, which changed printmaster 10, it should be the same as before.
The only updates to Printmaster 10, would have been around a few years after it came out. There are no software updates for any software that still works only on XP as the system is now redundant.

Try re-installing Printmaster 10.

The program should give you a choice of Typical Install, Full Install, and Minimum Install. Choose Full Install, however she may still need some of her discs for some of the art since the program may not load all the art anyway.

SOURCE: Get "Error 1305" when I try to reinstall my

Error 1305 means that the computer is not reading the disk. Most likely you have a dirty, or scratched disk. It could be that another program or process is keeping the disc
1. First make sure that the old program is completely uninstalled.
2. Restart your computer. Keep all other programs closed.
3. Clean the disc with a lint free cloth.
4. If this doesn't work, wash the disk with warm water, and allow to dry thoroughly, another suggestion would be to purchase a CD cleaning kit.
5. See if the disc works in another computer or drive. The problem could be your CD-ROM drive. Older drives cannot read dirty or scratched discs as well.
If the above steps do not work, it is likely you will have to replace the disc.

How can I use saved printmaster projects listed as SIG file on Printmaster 2019?

It may be possible. First, create a new project on Printmaster 2019 and save it. There's no need to actually print it, just save it. Go to the folder where you saved the new project and look at the file type. Is it a SIG file? If so, you may import (or copy and paste) your older saved projects into the same folder as the new saved project. Then the older projects can be opened in Printmaster 2019.
If the new project file type is not SIG then note what type it is. Next, make a copy of the older saved projects folder. Open the copied folder. Left-click to highlight a project, then right-click on it and select "Rename". Keep the same project name, but change the file type from SIG to the new file type used in Printmaster 2019. Next, try opening that renamed project with Printmaster 2019. If the old renamed project is compatible with Printmaster 2019 it will open, ready to use. If it does not open ready to use then your only hope is to contact Printmaster tech support (probably by email) and ask if there's a fix to make older projects compatible.

Our business has been using Printmaster 15 for a few years now. We recently bought a new computer with windows 7. Printmaster 15 is obviously not compatible with Windows 7. I bought printmaster 2011...

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.

I have used PrintMaster 10 for a number of years on my old computer-XP. I recently purchased a new computer and wish to put the program on my laptop( Windows 7). I tried choosing the compatibilty method...

The only solution with this older software that will work is to use a computer (virtual, dual-boot, or true second machine) with an older version of Windows installed. If you have Win7 Pro or Ultimate (or are willing to upgrade to one of these versions), 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 in 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. You can't have a printer installed on both the main computer and the virtual one at the same time. You will be asked to uninstall the printer if you try.

Your other option is to upgrade to PrintMaster Platinum 18.1, see http://www.broderbund.com/ for details, which is compatible with Windows 7. This will import your Printmaster 10 projects.


I hope this helps.

I am working on doing a fresh reinstall on a computer for someone, but they need me to save thier "My Invoices & Estimates Deluxe" information & reload it on the computer once I restore...

You have to backup all the require data to an external storage media first. If your are not familar with the software data backup. Ask your principal help or the person who operate on the system, to backup their vital data for to the external storage media, because you don't know which files are important.

Once you have install the OS, On installing "My Invoices & Estimates Deluxe" make sure the name the company file the exact same as the back up file name. If not you will not be able to load the backup files ie. you get errors opening the backup files.

Hope it helps.

May have to uninstall it first, then reinstall it.

Click START button, lower left corner
then click Control panel
then click on add or remove programs

go to my computer
find the cd drive
right-click the drive
select "explore"
Look for an Uninstall program

Hope this helps!

Contiuation of problem with retrieving files from a cracked disc

Before loading the new Printmaster, backup your printmaster files to a CD. The reloaded Printmaster 7.0 should find the data files on your system. You can also select your files off the backup CD.
