Printmaster Compatiblity with Windows 10 - 11/4/2016 12:26:33 PM    Jenbatt2   Posts: 1 Joined: 11/4/2016 Status: offline Reluctantly I finally got a new computer with Windows 10, I have an old one with WIndows 7. Part of the reason is because I knew some of my older software might work with Windows 10, particulary the Creative Software since that kind of creative stuff does not seem very popular anymore. I have Printmaster Gold 11 and it worked fine on WIndow 7 but will not load in windows 10; does anybody know any tricks for loading it in windows 10 or should I keep my old computer going so i can still use that software? Thanks Jen _____________________________ Jennifer Batt Post #: 1

Keep your old computer for your old programs. That's what I've done. They are side-by-side and share my monitor and keyboard via a switch box. The most current PrintMaster, version 7.0, is Win 10 compatible. This program makes all the same project types, (cards, labels, scrapbook pages, brochures, etc.) but is a totally new interface with all new graohics. There is no cross-compatibility between v11 and v7.0. (in reply to Jenbatt2) Post #: 2

RE: Printmaster Compatiblity with Windows 10 - 11/7/2016 8:36:58 PM    Ettie   Posts: 27 Joined: 10/18/2013 Status: offline The problem with installing older versions of PrintMaster on Windows 10 is due to the fact that PrintMaster 16 thru 18.1 require NET Framework 1.1 - which is not compatible with Windows 10. However, some of the older versions of PrintMaster - which do not require NET Framework 1.1 - can be installed on Windows 10, with limited success. I currently have PrintMaster 15 installed on Windows 10. The only problem I experience is a 1706 Error which occurs every time I start PrintMaster 15 - and which can be easily bypassed. After bypassing the 1706 error message, PrintMaster 15 works pretty much as expected. As can be seen here http://forums.encoreusa.com/tm.asp?m=39784 the only problems with installing PrintMaster 11 on Windows 7 are 1) It is not possible to register PrintMaster 11 and 2) The 'ExpressIt' option on the splash screen will not work - because ExpressIt was discontinued approximately 2004. Since I have successfully installed Print Shop 12 on Windows 10, I would have to assume that installing PrintMaster 11 on Windows 10 should be equally successful. However, since I do not currently own PrintMaster 11, I am not able to provide any specific information regarding this problem. < Message edited by Ettie -- 11/7/2016 8:37:42 PM > (in reply to ellengard) Post #: 3
