If it doesn't load try the screen shot way and send yourself a email with it and open on your mac I have done this in the past

Sorry Tina, I've lost the plot to-day. Do you mean I should try to load my XP version on my Mac and see what happens?

[Bon Bon]

I use Greetings Card Factory Delux Version 6/7 a lot. I mainly use it for setting out my text on the front and back of my cards and also for my inserts. The problem is .... This was alright on my old computer (XP) and I can still use it there if I want too. However I would like to load it in my new laptop which is an Apple Mac. I know you can get a Mac version of it. Can anyone tell me where I can purchase this. I have tried and am wondering if it is not available in the UK yet? Has anyone used this version on their Apple Mac?
I am also wondering if it is possible to load my XP version into my Mac? I seem to be full of questions to-day! I do like GCF and it is so user friendly. There are so many ways to use the images on your cards which I have also done many times in the past.

Doreen I was sure I had put it on the users group. Just noticed it on the CR chat. I have copied and pasted it on the user's group now. Have just checked and it is there!
Thanks.

Does anyone know of any FREE but good firewalls apart from Zone Alarm?

[dozyrosy]

I use Comodo Firewall Pro, but I believe this has now been merged with their antivirus software.

It seems to be regularly in the top rated free firewalls together with Zone Alarm & Outpost. My only gripe with it is that it sometimes acts as a real resource hog, and I've occasionally had to switch it off. Have a search through some of the reviews listed on Google and take your pick!

Help needed please. Could someone please tell me how I burn all my designs from 'my library' to a cd? I need to back them up as I am only allowed to recover them 3 times from the Silhouette on-line shop.

Thanks in advance.

You need a cd/dvd writer/burner ...if you already have one it should have come with software and instructions on to use it or there's lots of free software on the internet. I use Ashampoo burning studio 6.

not sure what your library is, but can you not right click and choose copy and then load a cd or dvd and paste them into that.

then do edit> select all and i think its file>write files to cd/dvd

hope that makes sense

Hi I just recently up dated my lap top for a newer model but before that i saved files and all sorts of things to an external hard drive. I am now having a problem connecting this hard drive to my lap top . When i plug in via a usb it ask if i want to format the disk as i do not i click no after this nothing i am not able to access anything on the external hard drive. I have connect or tried to connect to my daughters lap top same message and also my OH pc to no avail . Any one got any ideas on how i can retrieve the files from this before i do click on reformat. I am a computer not novice but not expert either so if any one has any ideas please in simple languge as the brain is commencing to mely down LOL thanks

I don't have an external hard-drive, but once you've clicked no can you go to Computer and right click on the ext hard drive and click explore? My thought is that it may open up that way, not sure if it will work though.
