Please Help

Hi All, Oh I just can't express how frustrated I am with MMS. It has taken me a week just to be able to install the downloaded MMS program. Tech support has been great but there input has not helped to resolve the problem. I lost my HHD through the messing I've had to do to get it installed (after having to format and loosing data).

I'm sure you can guess how frustrated I have been, Finally it installed and I also purchased the "design Club" I have attempted to install these but to no avail. I run the kits and it installs in program files of MMS but the do not show in the program to be able to use. They are just not there. I am really so frustrated with this program, I really feel like giving up on it if I'm not able to find how I can get purchased kits installed. I have searched and searched the help files but they do not refer to "how to install and use" the downloaded kits. (unless I have missed something).

Also can anyone advise me if the program and kits stay in my account to download over and over again. ( I am concerned that if ever I have to format my PC I would have to reinstall) and of course need access to the program and kits from the MMS web site account page?

I know I am asking a lot from you guy's but I am at the end of my tether!!

Many thanks

Carol

So sorry you  hare having trouble.  I have used this program for 2 years and teach it, but have none of the issues you are experiencing. 

Since you have it installed and it is working now, I will drop to the Design club.  and any other kits, packs, QPs etc that you buy now. 

The kits, design club included, are installed into the category that is listed in the store.  The Design club is a bit different since we get it BEFORE anyone else and it is not in the store yet.    I will get the categories for the latest design club and post them here later tonight.

Hi Carol - thanks for your post and I am really sorry you have had so many problems!! I hate to hear that!  Please send me an email directly and we will see if we can figure out what's going on.  

Here is some info that might help, but be sure to send me an email if you need to!

Hi!!  When you download the kit/pack/template files, make sure you double-click them (if you've chosen the Mac or PC option) and they will auto install. You should see them go through the auto-install steps. Once they have completed self-installation you should find them in your software. For background papers, click on the BACKGROUND PAPERS tab on the right-hand side Control Panel, then click on the PURCHASED button. There you will see your Category list, double-click on the category heading your kit will fall under (if you need to know the category, pull up the kit you bought on the MyMemories.com website and refer to the bottom right hand corner of the listing and it will show the category) When you double-click the category heading you will see your kits each listed by name, double-click the name of your kit and you will see each paper listed there. For Embellishments, click on the EMBELLISHMENTS tab on the Control Panel, then click on ADD, you will see a similar Category list, (click the 1-Designer Embellishments category for the things you have purchased) then double-click the correct Category heading and you will see your kits listed by name there, etc. For DESIGNER TEMPLATE kits that you download, click on CREATE FROM DESIGNER TEMPLATE from the New Album Options screen when you are creating a new project and you will see your Designer Templates (the kits that come with pre-designed pages) there listed alphabetically by kit name!  Remember you can click on the heading "theme" to reorganize the list to group all your same theme kits together!  Kits that have Designer Template pages will have the word "template" in their title on the website! *Page Builder* kits will also be found in this location!

Ladies, you have all been so kind and very very helpful but there seems to be a problem. I have been in "gotomeeting" with Mike at tecnical support for hours and the problem has not yet been resolved. I will keep you informed but must say your information and knowledge is NO1. I will use this info at a later date WHEN I DO get up and running and am looking forward to getting to know the community. LOL from England xx

Hi Ladies,

Yes I can finally join the community of MMS. hooray! I found through hard work, toil and trouble that it was my anti-virus that was the offending problem. Its a week long story that I can't possibly go into. But I removed my programs one by one and tried installing a kit after each one until I got to "Digital Defender" (anti-virus) once that was removed everything went in like a dream!! Phew, it's been such a hard and frustrating week. But I got there in the end.

I must mention Mike Allread from technical support who has been just absolutly FANTASTIC. He has the patience of a saint. I will miss him now after our long cyber relationship. (Professional of course)

I have played with the blissful blossoms kit and made my first scrapbook page, its not perfect as I need to learn the program more but this is very special to me as I lost my 7yrs yorkshire terrier last November and wanted to do a scrapbook about his short but happy little life. I will learn how to upload it for you all to see.

Once again ladies thank you for all your input and will use the info you have provided to learn from.

Lots of love

Carol

Hi Linda,

It was a week of hard work, but playing with MMS now , I  realise how it has paid off. I just  love the program. I will be on FB before long, I just want to get used to playing around with the program for a little before I get on there. Linda can you tell me if I can install fonts into MMS, which I have downloaded. I have a few I would like to use, especially one in paticular called "before the rain" for my family tree scrapbooking? Any help would be most appreciated.

LOL
