Depending on the configuration, Print Shop Deluxe will fail either right away (showing a square blinking cursor), after blanking the screen, or upon showing its initial graphics screen. Although it appears as if the memory managers are the issue (both HIDOS.SYS and EMM386.SYS), other utility combinations also seemed to produce intermittent execution failures.

This file is a run one-time only patch. PSDPATCH.COM should be copied into the subdirectory where the Print Shop Deluxe files reside.
