I have two old "Publishing" programs (Print Shop Pro Publisher V.11 & Print Artist V., both of which won't, of course, run on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit. Both these programs have several graphics and clip ART discs that I would like to be able to use, but both use their own file extentions which make them incompatable with other programs (Including later versions of Print Shop and Print Artist). The extentions are - Print Shop ...... CDT and for Print Artist......MRB. Does anyone know of a way to convert these files to a usable condition, as I would be a shame to have to bin them.

Regards First of all, You are talking about a art library in a propriety FORMAT.

There are ma some programs out there to convert foam one format to another. Like format Factory.

You have windows 7 64 bit and you know for sure those programs will not run? Are you sure? Did you try ?

Converting a large library is a time-consuming job. And the conversion might destroy some detail or other information that you may want to keep.

If you have a legal CD of an early 23bit windows OS, you can install it as a virtual OS inside of Windows 7 64 bit. Does not take a long time to do. Once you have it, you could run all the older programs you have. A VM runs a bit slow, but t have use of the features found only in the older program, such as reading a propitiatory file format.
