I put in my new CD that came in the changeover kit and its the same old pampered partner we have always had. Where is the PLUS? Am I not doing something that I should?
 
If you have a broadband connection to the Internet, you can download the latest upgrade at any time.
 
Can we start using Pampered Partner Plus now or do we have to wait? It didn't say...or I haven't gotten that far yet.

But I don't understand how to get the Plus part on it.
 
I haven't installed mine yet. Mine says plus on the CD though.
 
I heard that somwhere you can choose whether you just want the update or the plus. Once you switch to the plus you can't go back to the reg PP and I have heard that it still has some glitches and is difficult to use. My director told us all to wait until the kinks get worked out before switching to the plus and stick with just the update for now...
 
I used the Pampered Plus and went back to Pampered Partner this afternoon. I switched between the two without a problem. If that was the case you would think there would have been something in with our paperwork warning us not to switch until we were sure we wanted to. I am a techie on the computer so I have been playing with the plus and it is very easy and user friendly.
 
Okay, this is what I know. 1. You can continue to use PP without a problem. 2. You can install P3 and import your data from PP and play around with P3. If you do this, you can still use PP for your shows and orders. PP and P3 have different icons. P3 does not write over PP. When another version of P3 comes out, you can uninstall this version and install the updated one and go from there.3. You can install P3 and use that instead of PP. This is when you "cannot go back". Once you use P3 to submit stuff, that info cannot be imported back to PP.So, I suggest that you install it and import your info and play with it. Do not submit anything in P3 until you are ready to completely change over. I do think everyone should get to know it because our new recruits will NOT get PP in their kit!!!
 
Thanks, Kate. I sure hope it works out!
 
Does anyone know if there is a users manual for P3? I found one on the CD for PP but not P3. If anyone has found one please let me know. I can't figure out how to add expenses that aren't in the list...for example like giveaway items.
 
I figured it out. It is just going to take some time and I am sure everyone will love it!

If you right-click on the CD icon, select "open" and double click P+ icon. There is should allow you to install P3.
 
I just took the quick start guide tour. I think it will be great once we get the hang of it.

I too couldn't find it as it only did PP installation. I then went into my computer, the drive the CD was in and clicked on PP plus and it started the installation.
 
Its going to be a problem for people to install P3 if it doesn't give you a choice of which to install. What a letdown when I thought I was installing the new one and all I got was the old one. Thanks to this site, I figured it out.
 
Help! I hope I haven't lost anything or messed up. I put the PP plus CD in and let it install, thinking that it would install a seperate copy and that I would have 2 icons on my desktop when it was finished.

Wrong! I only have 1 icon. What should I do? I hope I am not stuck using PP Plus from now on, especially with the glitches that I heard about today at my cluster meeting.

You only installed the latest version of Pampered Partner....not Pampered Partner Plus. You won't have any problems because Pampered Partner is still there, just the latest version like we've had in the past.

Once you install Pampered Partner Plus, you will still have Pampered Partner on your desktop to use until you are ready to use it exclusively. Then you will transfer all your newest info from PP to PPP and delete PP.

For now, just use the most recent version of PP (which you just installed) and play with PPP until you feel comfortable.
 
But how do I get back to use my old PP. I only have 1 icon. It says Pampered Partner 16.0. I don't see anything that says PP3.
 
PP 16.0 is the same as what you had before...they just made minor (and I mean minor...you probably won't even notice what they are) changes. You won't see PPP until you manually install it.
 
I did (manually) install it and I know that it is P3 because when I opened it up, it automatically updated itself.

Hey, Anne! How was the cruise? We missed your postings while you were away!

If it says Pampered Partner 16.0, then that is the older version that you are familiar with. The new Pampered Partner Plus has a different looking icon.
 
Oh, okay. How can I try out P3 then to see what it is like?
 
ok, I'm lost. I installed the 16.0, but can't figure out how to install or even where to find PP3. Someone please help! I'm ususally not this computer illiterate!
 
I need help, I'm not very computer minded so I need step-by-step instructions on how to get my PP Plus downloaded. I have already installed my new PP but don't know how to get the plus. Please Help:eek:
 
If you right-click on the CD icon, select "open" and double click P+ icon. There is should allow you to install P3.

Input the CD in your computer. Then go to My Computer and follow the above instructions.
 
Thank you so much! It is installing right now.:)
 
Great, Lisa. I'm glad you got this going.

To be quite honest with you I don't know why it didn't come with instructions on how to install it. In the past when we got PP CD's most came with instructions and of course after you've done it a few times it is automatic.

This is the first time since I have been with PC that we got a CD with more than 1 program on it.

I had to figure it out for myself to see if it was on the CD and took a chance and clicked on the icon for PP + and it installed from there. Then I got back on here and found out that others had to do it manually too.

I've played with it a little and think I will like using it. I agree with everyone to practice before deciding to submit an order.
 
Thanks alot!!! I finally got mine loaded down. Don't know what I would do without you guys.:D
 
Harriet, I'm still not able to get this. I go to "My Computer" and no icons show up. I can go to "Add or Remove programs" and I find it, but I can only delete it, not open it from there. If I go to the regular icon on my screen, I can open it, but it does not say anything about P+ or P3. I feel so useless. Can you or someone walk me through this a little better? I'm sorry I'm so out of it tonight. Not sure why my computer and I are being so difficult.

You are the best. Thanks again for your help!

So far, the only problem I see is that a customer's ordre history is not there.

Have you seen any other problems?
