I make multiple records (add sub variety in the stamp data manager) for each copy and add letters after each Scott number to represent the variety, ex. fs full sheet, pb plate block. Then select the format in the general section of the program as it pertains to the specific copy. Works for me.
The above is the quoted text from my last message I posted yesterday as a reply to a former message. It is shown as "Read Content." So I figured it was time to change the topic so it would get noticed as a new topic in the forum. Now that's that! Let's get to business!! I tried to download and install SM2018 yesterday after I read your previous reply. I know I'm late, but thank you very much!! After about two hours, I started wondering what was taking it so long to install. But I had to go somewhere and I was hoping when I returned it would be finished. Upon my return, it had continued to install but not by much and I didn't understand that. I had been gone for more than four hours!! That's when I shot off the above message to you.I waited for the program to continue installing, but it was moving veerrry slow and so was my whole computer!!! I opened another tab to try to watch YouTube. It wouldn't load. In fact, nothing would load, not even the home page of my browser!! That's when I knew there was definitely a problem somewhere else and I started investigating. I started with the firewall (I disabled it), then the antivirus (I disabled it), and the VPNs (I disabled them). It took forever to accomplish these tasks, but it didn't make any difference. I didn't restart because I didn't want to interrupt the installation. BUT it was still moving slow!!! By now it was about 10pm (ET) and I was really upset. But I let it run until 12am. this morning. I got frustrated and cancelled the installation because after more than 12 hours it had only installed about 1/5th of the program!!! I restarted my computer and continued my investigation. I checked everything and disabled all that I could that I thought would affect the speed of the internet and/or the installation of SM2018. Later after some sleep, I checked the internet connection and network. They were fine and no problems were found. Nothing changed!!! So I went to the heavy duty stuff like AVG Internet Security and Dell Support Assist. After each program finished its business, I restarted my computer. Again, no change!!! So I don't get it!! What is the problem? What am I doing wrong or what is wrong with my computer??
Any legit suggestions are encouraged and welcomed!! Any help that may relieve me of the levels of stress and frustration will be greatly appreciated!! And in advance I thank you so very much!!
God bless you all!!!
You can fix that by adding your own correct image. I have done that numerous times to correct or display better quality images that I scanned from my actual stamp!
As taken from my email:
Welcome to HipStamp! This past Tuesday marked the official migration of bidStart into HipStamp - your online home for collectibles stamps.
Purchased the 2016 Stamp Manage Software and am having problems. I am not able to utilize the preview feature and also I am not able to add images of my stamp collection. When you enter preview, nothing happens. When you try to copy and paste a stamp picture file, the paste button stays grey not allowing the picture to be captured. When I scan a stamp I also am not able to capture the picture file. I have the 2007 version on a different computer with the same OS and it works flawlessly. Will there be a 2016 update to fix these bugs?
