Q&A

Q. I just updated to Internet Explorer 7, and now my Dress Shop program does not work. The program displays only in a very small window in the upper left corner, rather than filling the screen. What happened?

A. There was an issue with the launching program that "spawns" Internet Explorer, rather than with Dress Shop itself. IE7 has slightly different requirements for that than IE6 did. There is a patch file that you can download from the www.livingsoftnw.com downloads page. After downloading it, be sure that your Dress Shop program is completely closed, and then run the file to install the fix. It will install to the default Dress Shop folder location, so if you have Dress Shop installed elsewhere, be sure to change that when you install the patch.

This fix works on any version of Dress Shop 5, 6, or 7. The fix will be included in the next Dress Shop update that is released.

Q. I understand that there are now additional design tools included in Dress Shop 7. Are these new tools?

A. The tools that are now included are the tools that were either included Dress Shop Pro, or purchased separately in prior versions of Dress Shop. The tools that are included will depend on which version of Dress Shop 7 you get. Dress Shop 7 Standard and Pro now contain 14 Designer tools. Dress Shop 7 Pro has the additional Pattern Converter Tool, which will convert any pattern in Dress Shop into an equivalent man's pattern.  

You can find a complete listing of the tools on the LivingsoftNW website at: http://www.livingsoftnw.com/DS7/DS7Compare.htm#Tools

You can also follow the links on the Tools page to see full information on each tool.
