Sassyo,

I have had 6 for a long time and also have printmaster 11 and print shop 12. My husband just bought me Print shop 15 and i feel we got taken. He paid $50.00 for it and when i went to install it it says it will remove 12 and put in 15. It never really showed me what it did or what it added. I am upset because i disregarded a letter saying we could update to 15 I think for $16.99. I really think the box should say that if you have 12 then just buy an update. MY computer Icons still show 12 but I guess the 15 is there somewhere. If anyone knows what it did let us know. Yes there are many other options and fun stuff on Printshop 12 but if you are going for more just buy the 15 it has all the 12 plus whatever they added...

Sassyo, I have had different versions of PrintShop on my machine at one time and have had no problem using the different versions individually...I still go back to ver.6..it is my fav....
Connie...hmmm...so you have no Shortcut for ver.15 on your Desktop? When you click on your PS12 shortcut, does the new ver.15 open, or the old 12? Do you see both ver. when you go to Start/Programs? And if so, can you open each ver. individually? When you look in Explorer (right click on Start and choose Explore-Open the Program File folder)do you see both programs?
Try uninstalling and reinstalling ver.15...Just some things off the top of my head...will wait for a reply to some of these questions....

Howdy, Folks. I've heard if one hangs a dead crow on a fence near their garden it will keep other crows away. My next door neighbor has had to replant corn three times. Each time it breaks ground crows pull the plant. Yesterday he shot one and hung it on the fence. I've not talked to him and yet don't know the effectivness . This morning I had my coffee and a bagel on the back porch. I kept looking at the dead crow and thought of Poe's, The Raven (remember? Nevermore, Lenore?). When I came to the computer I was inspired. ODE TO A CROW, by Gene My head is low, My feet are high, Different from yesterday - I soared through the sky! A garden I spotted, Oh, I filled with glee, Morsels of young corn just waited for me. On a fence here am I hanging, Corn sprouts were good, but gun went banging! - - - - - - - - - - - I have four coffees (1/2 pound package deal) from Caribou: Caribou blend, Sumatra, French Roast, and Columbia. I'm using the Caribou blend. I didn't want to grind it myself. I told them I wanted it ground for the paper filter type of maker. It came ground very, very thin. I thought it should have been lightly coarse. Am I wrong? That coffee is okay but for my taste buds no much more than less expensive stuff. Gurley, you caught me, didn't you. Yes, I live at Candler. I've never thought alias' were very good anyway. If someone wants to find you bad enough they will. But, it is often recommended by those in the know, isn't it. Thanks for the continuing information, Eloise. It has encouraged me to start doing something. I'm 73, windowed, with three children. I'd like to have things more organized when I move on. I have updated my will in a simplistic fashion for the present. I've found the local N.C. probate office accepts an informal will if signed and no witnesses. There were changes I wanted to make to the old one and that was convenient for the time being. I'm preparing two file folders. One has original documents and the other copies. The other will be furnished a daugher whose named Executor (they don't use Executrix any more). Some of my things require explanation such as an insurance policy which has a face value higher than actual value. I need to include a letter explaining I borrowed some money on the policy years ago and just have never paid it back. Otherwise I think it would be confusing to them. I plan to pay it back if and when I sell a lot. It is dry in WNC! I'm sure it is elsewhere, too. I'm mowing every couple of weeks rather than weekly. It sure makes one think about global warming. But, I have seen it this way even with ground cracking only for the rain to begin and come almost daily until Fall gets here. I still drive the Miata maybe once a week. It's still fun. It came with a supposedly cancelled XM radio. I generally don't try to listen to music because of noise, it being a convertible. I was at a stop light and began messing with the radio. I got an XM channel with 30's and 40's music. It was good listening. I heard later XM has sample days trying to get new subscribers. I wish everyone well. I'm sorry the topic has slowed so much. Maybe it's because of warmer weather and longer days. Maybe it will pick up come cold weather. Sorry about saying those words. Regards, Gene

I'm not doing any dying (yet). I will probably do most of my weaving with cotton, linen, silk. They require wet finishing, but probably need less attention than wool. And if I do catch the dying bug I'll probably stick with those materials and they can be done on the stovetop. I believe I'll go with the front loading set. I have a friend who still has a top-load machine. I can use her machine if I need to and give her a handwoven towel now and again in thanks. I printed out the installation portion of the manual of the set I'll probably get and stuck to the wall this morning so if they get to framing the closet they'll know how deep to make it. The depth won't change if I end up with a different brand in the same size. I spent a lot of the weekend going through stuff in my loft. Cleaning out the cubbies-many bags of old clothes to take to the thrift shop, and rounding up the dust bunnies under the bed. I still have the cubbies on the east side...where the construction will be happening, but they are smaller and probably mostly things I will keep. When they start work there, the bed will have to be dismantled. When they are done with the bedroom, but before it is painted and floored it will be a good place to sand and repaint the bedframe and a couple pieces I will use for the side tables. I want to add a lightly upholstered piece to the headboard. I have two low dressers that stand in front of the cubbies now. At least one of them will have to move downstairs during the construction. I think one will fit in the new floor plan, the other may end up in a yard sale. Once I move to the new bedroom I will gut the loft, removing the cubbies and flooring. I'll enlist a woodworking friend to help me design and build some simple new cubbies that have backs and boxes or baskets to match. I really don't need every possible cubic inch for storage. I can backfill the area behind with insulation. I'll put in new floor and a rail at the end of the loft floor. By then the little recliner which is off getting new upholstery should be ready and I can set it up there with a good light. The loom will fit in the dormer, so I'll have a view of the mountains while I weave. A sewing machine table will tuck into the opposite side. When in use the loom or sewing table can be pulled out toward the center of the room and tuck back a foot or two out of the way when not in use. I'll add a drop leaf on the back and side of the sewing table to create a larger workspace when needed. That should leave enough room for card weaving and one day, perhaps, a small tapestry loom. And no doubt, a serger. Ellen

If the art doesn't work for you, it may be time to let it go. I understand how that works. Right now I have a 24x36 framed flamingo poster in my guest bedroom! Next year, who knows? Is IKEA the only option for you? Where would you put your other lamp if you put one behind the chair? This is from Target. https://www.target.com/p/globe-head-floor-led-lamp-black-includes-energy-efficient-light-bulb-project-62-8482/-/A-52011634 I'm not sure I see a lamp back there though. If the large plants aren't working for you, what about something like a wall planter with succulents or air plants? https://www.target.com/p/decorative-wall-sculpture-black-project-62-8482/-/A-53477921 Or a piece of the woven wall art that's everywhere now? https://www.target.com/p/15-34-x28-34-hand-woven-cotton-and-wool-wall-art-opalhouse-8482/-/A-54572890 https://www.target.com/p/12-34-x-18-34-white-woven-wall-hanging-opalhouse-8482/-/A-77643970 Or a colorful African wall basket? https://www.etsy.com/listing/698589448/african-wall-baskets12-rwanda-basket?

Tiger,

I have only the ps12 shortcut on the desktop. When I open start only 12 shows up. Nothing looks different when it starts loading or any other ways. I went to start and explore and its under the Windows folder?????? It has a psdlx15prog(D:) under that. But nowhere does it say ps 12.But when you click on it nothing happens. I have tried 5-6 times to reinstall it and it says every time that it was unsuccessful to uninstall ps12 and ends the setup....... I have gone to add remove and it lightens and then pops right back to the blue highlighted area. Where else can i go to get 12 out and 15 in. I am assuming that everything in 12 is in the new 15 with added stuff right???

Hmmm....OK...when you go to Start/Programs, then The Print Shop...do You have an "Uninstall The Print Shop"? That would be the way to uninstall ver. 12.
When you go into Explorer (Right click on Start and select Explore) you see a The Print Shop folder...under your Windows folder (not IN the Windows folder), am I understanding that? That's OK...for some reason, sometimes, Print Shop will create it's own folder on C drive, not in Program Files folder, where most programs go Normally....When you open the Program File folder, do you see ver 15 there????
Also you said you saw psdlx15prog(D:)...I'm assuming your CD Rom drive is your D drive (unless your hard drive is partitioned...?) If it's your CD ROm drive, it probably just meant you had the ver. 15 Disc in your D drive.
If you're sure you've installed Ver 15 on the machine, try doing a Start/Find for Print Shop and see if it comes up there.....
Sometimes, you just have to pay a little attention where you're installing and downloading things...not that I'm saying you didn't...LOL!!!

Tiger,

For the life of me i cannot find it. I have done all the above I think some things are different on the 12 version but not sure. They may have been areas i never used before. When I click on Print shop 12 look under its sub titles there is no uninstall. Which I found weird. They all have uninstalls or so I thought. I went to their site and they give no explantion but to uninstall 12 and then proceed but I cannot do that so what do you think I could do next. Thanks a million. Connie

Hmmmm...again, Helen..LOL! Not all programs have the Uninstall feature, but if they do, that's the best way to uninstall them. You said you tried to uninstall it by going to Start/Settings/Control Panel, then Add/Remove? Highlight the program and cick on Remove?
And if I understand you...you looked at the site and they said to uninstall 12 befor installing 15? Hmmm...this may be a job for the Computer Help href> forum....strange!!?

Thanks Tiger,

I will have to put it on hold as we are trying top get ready for a show with our furniture and i don't have any more time till we get back on Monday to try again. I tried again today but no luck. I still feel they ripped the consumer off. It should say on the box if you have 12 then just buy an upgrade thru their site. I will try on the help forum when I get back.....

Connie, I might be wrong but I believe the upgrade for $16.99 applies to upgrading to the Deluxe 15 from the Standard 15; not from 12 to 15. I also think 6 and 15 are compatible, but according to Broderbund 12 and 15 are not. Most of everything found in version 12 is found in version 15. We are using Version 15 in our SeniorNet classes but would have stayed with 12 if it were still on the market. I'm not sure the "improvements" are worth the switch.

Wondering how many disc's 12 and 15 have? Also , I want to try to do a garden journal, are there publishing features in 12 or 15. Thanks,sassyo

There are only 2 discs in PS15 and when you use the install disc you have the installation option of storing all of the images and program information on your hard drive. "Full" installation eliminates changing discs and "Standard" has you change as needed. That's the feature I really like about the new version. Yes, there is a publishing feature in PS15. I can't recall about PS12.
