printmaster 7.0 files - 7/16/2013 12:07:03 PM    Julz   Posts: 2 Joined: 7/16/2013 Status: offline Here is my problem- My old computer crashed. Fortunately I had most of my files backed up. I did purchase Printmaster Platinum when I got a new computer with windows 8 and love it although I am not able to open any of the old Printmaster 7.0 files. I AM able to install and use my old Printmaster 7.0 program on my new computer but I cannot retrieve any of the old backed up files. Do you know if there is a way to do this? I do have a laptop with windows 7 but cannot install Printmaster 7.0. I receive this error message- the version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you are running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program and then contact the software publisher. I just really need to open my old Printmaster 7.0 files, if at all possible. Is there any version that would allow me to do this? Post #: 1

Officially, PM7 is not a Win8 compatible program. If the program is working, you can open your old files, but you must do it from within the program. i.e. From the Project Gallery: File> Open From Disk... and browse to where you stored your project files.

Just in case PM7 stops working on Win8 after several updates, it would be a good idea to export your projects as JPG, if that is an option in PM7. Otherwise, print them to a PDF driver. JPG and PDF, you will always be able to open with other programs, with any operating system. (in reply to Julz) Post #: 4
