RWS44 -> PrintMaster v4.x Compatibility with newer versions (5/18/2011 8:21:47 AM)

I have many projects saved using PrintMaster v4.xx which will not run under Windows 7. PrintMaster 2011 does run under Windows 7 but will not open files from v4.xx. How do I use my files running Windows 7? Is PrintMaster 18.1 the program I need? Or is there some kind of conversion program to convert my files so that PrintMaster 2011 can open them?

Hi RWS44,

As can be seen here

all versions of PrintMaster earlier than version 7 were released by either Kyocera, MicroLogic, Mindscape or The Learning Company. What that means is that your version 4 is not an actual Broderbund product. So, the file format for those your version 4 *might* not be compatible with the file format for any newer Broderbund version of PrintMaster.

As to where you said this:

"Is there some kind of conversion program to convert my files so that PrintMaster 2011 can open them?"

There is, I'm afraid, no conversion program which will allow your PrintMaster v4.x files to be compatible with any newer Broderbund version of PrintMaster.

And, it is very important to keep in mind that PrintMaster 2011 is not a true upgrade of any previous version of PrintMaster. Instead, PrintMaster 2011 is a completely redesigned and rewritten product which works in an entirely different manner than all earlier versions of PrintMaster. And, PrintMaster 2011 cannot open any projects which were created with any previous version of PrintMaster except PrintMaster 2.0.
