Updating Xtreme PhotoStory

Constance-Murgo wrote on 2/15/2022, 8:49 AM

I have a Version 8 of Xtreme PhotoStory (DVD). When I got my new computer the Magix Program did not transfer over. I am working with Windows 11. Not sure if Version 8 will work or if I should get the newest Version. Based on the updated program specs, I have some concerns about my Processor capacity. Can you advise?

Hi

. . . . Version 8 of Xtreme PhotoStory (DVD) . . . .

This program was released in 2009 and was certified to run on versions of Windows up to and including Windows Vista.

There have been significant changes in Windows 10 & 11 to the point where the program will not run correctly, if you can get it installed in the first place.

It is time to upgrade to a Windows 10 compatible version which will also run correctly on Windows 11.

Note: There have been significant changes in Photostory in looks and capabilities and you may find that if you want to open old projects, this may not be possible, or there may be some error messages popping up for 'missing' effects and features which are in a different locations or do not exist any more.

Thank you John for responding so quickly. I knew it was a much older version. I'll do some more research and make a decision.
