If you simply need to open an old PM 18 project and print it, you can send it to me. I still have PM 18 running on my XP computer. I'll convert your project into a PDF so you can print it at home.

RE: Windows 8 Compatable - 12/1/2015 4:50:13 PM    nonnox15 Posts: 70 Joined: 6/14/2012 Status: offline Thanks but what I need is to create projects. My hard drive died on my Windows Vista computer. The thing that irritates me the most when they upgrade the Windows OS but the older programs I have don't work. That is why I never upgraded to 7 or 8. Now they have gone to Windows 10. Giving it away free, but I would have to buy all new software. That just ain't right! But, who cares what I think. I do appreciate the offer however. Have a good day.

If it's the plain "18" good luck on that. You will have more luck with the Win 7 compatible version and as ellengard suggested the Net Framework thing is a real task and can take you up to an hour to clean out those entries to prepare it to install. quote: ORIGINAL: nonnox15 I have Printmaster 18.
