Greeting Card Program Print Problem

Ann — Thu, 18 Dec 2014 16:36:39 GMT

My wonderful old (no longer available) Broderbund American Greetings CreataCard program (circa 2001?) worked perfectly on XP. Now, on Windows 7, I can't access the print box which exhibits on XP in my old computer.

For example, on XP, when you click print, the print box which comes up exhibits the correct information, sizing, and options for your selection, be it a greeting card, label, business card, or other. In the program you can choose from a very long list of label types and sizes, but on Windows 7, only one label option is shown.

The program, with the exception of the print box appears to work on Windows 7. Unfortunately, without the proper print option display, the program is useless, which is a shame since I have hundreds of items stored in it.

Does anyone know of a possible solution?

I think Windows 7 is reading the original settings from the card program, even though they don't show in the options in the print box. It'll take a while for me to check through my various gallery projects to be certain, but thanks for offering help.
