corel print house

[edocorel15022014]

kind,
I changed my operating system to windows 7, where unfortunately the program does not run corel print house.
Now I find myself with several files .cph, I tried using the corel draw but will not open them.
how to open?

That's a very old program now, and is not one we deal with in any case on this web board which is dedicated to Corel's audio visual programs not in the CorelDRAW family of products. However, I did find one thread on this forum dating back to 2012 and raising similar issues. You might want to look at it: http://forum.corel.com/EN/viewtopic.php ... 35#p239635

Otherwise, I think it is more likely covered in one of the general forums you will find at https://coreldraw.com/forums/ though unfortunately, I have to say I cannot immediately see any reference to Print House there either.

friendly,
even if the software is old, not being able to read a file which is a shame!
that there are no compatible products corel is not in your favor.
thank you very much for your reply.
greetings

I had some success opening Corel Print House 4 today -- Dec 18,

2015. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium -- 64 bit.

Yesterday, I installed the program from my Wizard of Oz edition

disc 1. I tried to open it -- no luck. The little square screen (showing Corel Print House --

Version 4 -- 1998, etc.) would pop up then disappear. I tried to open

an old .CPH file with it ---- by clicking on the file in its folder -- no luck.


Today I clicked on:

Start -- All Programs -- Corel Print House Magic 4

Then I right-clicked on Corel Print House 4 and chose

"Troubleshoot Compatibility". I tried the recommended settings first

-- that wanted to run the program in Windows XP (service pack 2) -- no

luck.

I clicked on Next. Then: "No, try again using different

settings". I checked the box for "The program worked in earlier

versions of Windows but won't install or run now." Next.

I chose "Windows 98 / Windows ME." I clicked on Next. Then I

clicked on "Start the program". It started, but many commands were

greyed out.


I clicked on "Open an existing project". "My Projects" was

selected (with a little black circle). I clicked on Next at the bottom.

I was able to open up four little "lessons" that came with the

program. But I could not open up my own CPH files!

Then I had an idea. I clicked on Start -- Computer -- C Drive --

Program Files (x86) -- Corel -- Print House Magic 4. There I saw a

folder called "My Projects". I opened it up and found Corel's four

little "lessons". All I had to do now was copy my files into Corel's

"My Projects" folder, which I did.

Well, at first, I could open up my CPH files, but I could not do

anything with them. I tried hitting CTRL and PRINT SCREEN at the same

time, and pasting that printscreen into Windows Paint. That worked --

I could crop the image and save it as a jpg file. But it seemed to be

low quality.


One last trick. I went back to the "My Projects" folder and

clicked on one of the CPH files. It opened up -- and suddenly Corel

Print House blossomed. All the commands were now available.

I was able to save my CPH files as JPGs. On the "Bitmap export:"

screen, I chose "CMYK Color (32-bit)" and I chose "300 dpi."

When you get a chance, on that Program Compatibility screen, click

on Next, then choose "Yes, save these settings for this program."

I hope this helps.
