Having an issue with the printing.

Currently archiving my own music and when i print, everything is fine,
looks great... besides the title and the credits printing to the far
right!

It's probably a good inch to the right... very frustrating.

I am operating on Windows Vista.

I looked at the solve on here but it's directed at an older Windows
and i don't have the fix in my menus.

Any help would be appreciated.

Power Tab was written for Windows 95/98. As a result, there are a few minor issues when you run it in later versions of Windows.

AFAIK there is no way to fix this printing bug in Windows XP and later. If you have an older PC around with Windows 95/98 on it, you can use that to do your printing. 

When I need to print something from Power Tab and have to have the title, etc., located properly, I use an emulator like Virtual PC or VMWare. Virtual PC is free, I believe; the VMWare player is free, but the full version is not, although there is a 60-day free trial. You could use the free trial to create your Windows 95/98 virtual image, then use the free player whenever you need to print something.

You would need a legitimate copy of 95/98 to install to your virtual image the first time. You would set it up, then install Power Tab, and copy the file(s) that need to be printed to the virtual image, or set up network access to your physical PC and just access the files across the network. Then they will print properly.

VERY IMPORTANT-- Windows 95/98 and IE 4/5/6 are EXTREMELY insecure- DO NOT use your virtual PC to access the internet, or you will almost certainly infect it.

I know this is a roundabout, time-consuming way to just print something, but unless/until Brad comes out with a new version that fixes the bug, or someone comes out with a printing utility, it's the only way if you don't have a 95/98 machine lying around.

HTH,
