Hi everyone!! Okay..since our move here to Germany and dealing with another baby loss...I'm now finally able to sit and get my PC stuff in order.
I need to reinstall PP3 since I was using my in-laws computer while I was in florida before we made our move here to Germany.

How in the world does the PP3 install?? I remember it not being EASY. I've installed the Pampered Partner Plus disc into our computer..but its running the old program. I remember someone on here had a thread but I can't find it.
Can someone please help?? I really need to get this installed! So I can place orders!!! LOL

Thanks everyone in advance
 
You need to browse the CD and look for the Pampered Partner Plus installer - it's separate from the PP installer. If you have your backup on a flash drive (or whatever), do a restore from backup to pull in all your data.
 
Can't you install PP3 right from the PC website? I still have my PP3 disk and just put it into my computer after it crashed. It installed w/o any problems.

Hey Nicole!

You can install it from CC. It's under Managing Your Business, My Shows, P3. It has the download and instructions.
