My wife uses Printshop, has 23 on a computer that died. I upgraded her computer from a vista box to a windows 7 machine. The HD in the old machine was ok. I put the old drive in the new machine, both Sata drives. So I would like to use the projects my wife put into the PS 23 on the old HD and get those projects to the new PS 3.0 on the new HD on the new computer. I don't see how to do it. I found 'content' in the old HD inside PS 23 ( half gig of stuff) copied it to a folder on the desktop but can't get it to connect to PS 3.0. The ads for PS 3 says you can use PS 21, 22, and 23 projects and import them into PS 3 but don't see how. Thanks for your help ahead of time.

One thing I may try is to see if the old HD which has Vista installed, can actually open on the new machine by disconnecting the new HD. Not sure what I would do if that works though.

Update on the HD swap: It looks like that would have worked but I got the same error, it went through the same routine on the old computer, would cycle through the windows opener screen and have a new window come up with two alternatives, start windows normally and start windows repair.
I would do start windows repair and it would come up with a new error message could not repair with such and such a list of error messages. So trying the same thing on the new box resulted in exactly the same thing, indicating Vista somehow got hosed on the old HD.
If I got a copy of vista, I think there is no windows repair, the R option we have in XP unless someone has an idea about that. If I could repair vista, I could just resurrect the old box and my wife would be back in business.
