http://support.encore.com/technicalsupport/tech_support_frm.aspx?product_id=2644

Just a thought: Another program running on your computer can affect other programs. In this case, you can shut down all other applications and then see if your software still has a runtime error.

Malicious Virus or Ad Ware. They are not the leading cause of a runtime error, but can still lead to one. Run a virus scan.

Status: offline 		Hi........Thanks..I have been watching some you tube videos but the reply I got to the CMD..was the boot configuration data store could not be opened..access was denied..even tho I did as an admin..the runtime pop up message happened while importing photos to printmaster from my own photos..it never happens otherwise..an i even wondered if it would happen with the new disc..sadly it did..i find 18 so much easier to use then 6v..an my 6v seems to have some problems..it's so frustrating using it..i decided to get 18 again..looks like maybe i didn't need to buy another one..I just need to figure out how to get the runtime problem fixed..Thanks again for a quick response..it's Greatly appreciated..Ii use this for my biz an I really need to get it straightened out...

..the runtime pop up message happened while importing photos to printmaster from my own photos..it never happens otherwise...

How are you importing your photos? If we can avoid that particular method, you can get around that runtime error.

Status: offline 		Try this instead:

Open a project. To add one of your own photos, File> Open from Disk... browse to where your photo is stored. Select the photo.

Avoid mass importing of photos.

I am assuming that this is a conversation about PM18 (even though you are not in the PM18 forum. If you want to talk about how to use v6.0, please start a new thread.) If tech support cannot tell you how to fix the runtime error, all you can do is avoid the action that makes it occur.

Status: offline 		yes this is PM18...the problem is when i finish picking the project i want to make that's when the error shows up..so i can't proceed from there to do anything..do you think the disc for 6v would be the same as the download from them..when i look for photos to use not all of mine are there when i'm using 6v..i use printables to make my graphics..an if they're not there it's not much good to me..i tried to change the color of a border an it acted like to was doing it..but the border was still black..that version seems so complicated to me..i was wondering if i refresh my laptop would that maybe stop the error..i thought about setting the date back to before it happened but i can't figure that out now..seems like when technology is updated or upgraded there are so many more steps to get to the end..i sure do appreciate your help.!!

Earlier you said the error only happens when you start importing photos. Now you're saying it happens as soon as you choose a project? In that case, I have no workaround for you.

do you think the disc for 6v would be the same as the download from them..

This is a different subject. Please start a new thread.

Status: offline 		I am not a computer tech person. Did you submit a tech support ticket?. If I were having the same problems you are describing, I get my computer guy on it. He's my go-to whenever I can't "fix" things with doing as complete a computer clean-up as I can. i.e. Complete uninstall of the problem program, disk clean-up, registry cleaner, virus/malware scan, disk defrag, disk check.

After I've cleaned up my computer, I disable firewalls and anti-virus so that I can do a clean re-install of my program.

Status: offline 		I did a little bit of research and I saw this article: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_programs/runtime-error-program-cprogram-files/f2775224-937f-4eb6-9769-cedf9b5f8b42

Please keep in mind the original Print Master 18 was not designed for Windows 7 or Windows 8 (18.1 corrects the incompatibility in Windows 7)

And in the case of Windows 8.1 running Print Master 18.1 you do so at your own risk. Scenarios we would not be able to support through our online system.

If V6 is giving you issues, that's something we support on all operating systems and you can submit a trouble ticket or you can even call us on the phone for assistance. We are closed on the weekends but open up at 8am CST Monday through Friday.

Status: offline 		Hi.....Thanks I'll look at the link..strange thing happened when i ran it after refreshing my laptop it said i was missing something..can't remember what now..i just googled it an found where i could download it an it was fine after that..it loaded fine the first time i bought it..not sure what happened after the refresh..i didn't see a phone number to call about problems..i will look again..i will also fill out the form ellengard shared with me...do you know if the disc for 6v will most likely have the same issues i'm having with the download..i can always get use to how it works..but if it doesn't give me all my photos to pick from it isn't going to work for me..an also about the color not changing..i think i was doing it right..it showed the border i wanted to change an when it hit 100% the border was still black.?? 18 is just so much easier to use..well to me it is.

"Refresh" won't do anything - you mean reformat your hard drive? Both reformat and restore point are pretty drastic and shouldn't be considered before doing simple computer cleanup utilities which are supposed to be done monthly anyway.
