ot a little, Value Soft Software.

[Guest guest]

Try looking for a different version period. My MC 3 works great in

XP. I just bought a juicer and am sitting here grabbing some great

cocktail recipes off the net for it and using 3 with XP Home when I

decided to check in on the group just now.

 

I always had problems with MC4 no matter what OS I was using so I

went back to old reliable and haven't bothered buying another

version. Ebay should have it somewhere. 3 should be darn cheap.

 

Five and above might have cleared up the problem if anyone else is

using a higher version maybe they can tell you. However I will

testify that MC3 works just fine. BTW my niece can't use MC3 with ME

[i keep telling her to buy XP]

You may want to ask that question on the Mastercook list:

MastercookDiscussion

 

I know many people with all versions of MC have been having problems since

the XP upgrade, but the work-around lists only versions 5 and above.

 

The moderators of that list also have web sites of their own, and are former

moderators of the Mastercook message board when Sierra had it. Here's a copy

of one post that was made to the list. Version 4 *is* covered on the

Cupboard site.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

I'm going to remove all the HTML files I uploaded to the Files section for

this group. I've found a permanent home for the content

on Tripod instead. These are all the archived tips and FAQs from the old

Sierra/VUG message boards. It covers all MasterCook

versions. Their new home is here:

 

http://mastercook_cupboard.tripod.com/

 

I was going to put the Cupboard site on my EarthLink account, however, when

I go over bandwidth (people visiting the site, etc.),

EarthLink will charge me extra for that. When you go over bandwidth with

Tripod, they just limit the visitors and make them return

later in order to " share " the bandwidth. That costs me nothing.

 

I've also redesigned my " tips " cookbook web site. It remains here:

 

http://mc6help.tripod.com/

 

It's main purpose is a place to house the " tips " cookbook and any

illustrated walk-throughs that I create. It covers MasterCook

versions 5 and above only.

 

Don't forget to also bookmark PatH's web site:

I run MC4 and MC7 both on one XP computer. MC8 is due on my doorstep today. I

ordered from the ValuSoft webpage:

http://www.valusoftsupport.com/KBArticle.asp?kbid=3692

 

MC user mailing list support group home page is (many experts there...feel free

to join and ask questions, that's what it's there for):

MastercookDiscussion

 

MC7 -- (for those who want to upgrade cheaply) is really nice and should be

available at stores at low-low prices SOON...because MC8 will be out on the

store shelves any day now. MC8 has a new backup feature and some nifty way to

grab recipes when surfing the web...it even grabs the photos and urls and places

them into the recipe!!

 

 

Fun stuff. MC is awesome! Good luck.

Cook 8.0? I really miss having the software to sort my recipes. I

have quite a few recipes that are only in the computer. Would like

to know if Value Soft is a good company to deal with.
