Pleased to hear you have it up and running. I am running PE Design Version 5 on my windows 8.1. Don't ask how. My daughter put it on from XP. Too technical for my brain to figure out. LOL. Hugs Marg

Glad to know that you have been sorted out - even thou it does sound a little painful. sarah

thanks for all your comments still trying to navigate and re install my designs...wendy

Glad to know it CAN be done...unlike what some tell us! So glad you can use your current program now!

Yeah! Glad you were able to get things functioning again, Now go have some fun!

Glad you got it all figured out...after a bit of practice...it will be easier.

This is a cut and paste computer!
