The answer from Avery support is that DesignPro 5.5 does not work properly with 64-bit Windows (neither Vista nor Win 7). They have no plans to fix this, and instead are pushing their cloud-based label creation service.
There is no mention of the 64-bit problem in the DesignPro system requirements posted on avery.com, and the program appears to install and run OK. But some things don't work, and output can be corrupted. Tom Hawley On Sun, May 16, 2010 at 12:21 AM, A.
