Food Talk And Fabulous Finds - Any Win95/98 users in need of Mastercook?

I have 3 unopened copies of the OLD Mastercook Cooking Light, the original version for Win95. I had ordered version 6.0 from a Canadian dealer after Sierra stopped producing Mastercook and it was impossible to find. I paid a small fortune for it! Unfortunately, the guy sent the original version, which I already had on my old PC, AND was incompatible with WinXP which I had on my new PC. I had ordered 3 copies, one for each of us, but none of us could use it. I tried unsuccessfully to return it, and it's been tucked in my closet since last year. I'm cleaning house now, and hate to toss it if someone can use it.

This MIGHT work on Win98, as many Win95 programs still worked on 98, I have no idea. I only know that it definitely won't work on XP.

It has over 1000 recipes from Cooking Light built in, and you can enter your own recipes as well. It provides full nutrition information for each recipe.

If you have an older computer and can use a copy, let me know. We are not responsible for any problems if you install it and it's not compatible with your system.

I'll send it for free, as long as you are in the US. One copy per person :)

Hi Suzanne,

Nice to meet you. I would be more than happy to take one of those copies off your hands. Should I PM you, my info? Have a great day....and thanks so much for this site. It is the best, if it wasn't for the people here, I would have given up already.:)

Hi! What a DEAL!!! I would love to have a copy if you still have one. I have Win98 and if it doesn't work, I would offer it again to someone else. Guess I don't know what PM the mailing address means. Kinda new here. Thanks so much! My email is jrubix@yahoo.com

Hi Suzanne,

I don't know if this helps you, but I was able to purchase the betty crocker version of mastercook 6.0 from Best Buy in Nashua, NH for $19.99. It can be purchased from their website, www.bestbuy.com.

Good Luck.

Thanks sterling, I actually did get a copy from Bestbuy online :lol: It's a great program!

I was so disappointed when they stopped making it, as I had not upgraded to version 6 yet. I'm glad they sold the product to another manufacturer, but this probably means that version 6 will be the final version, as I don't think ValueSoft produces upgrades.

Hi :)

Click the button on my post that says "send pm" and this will let you send a private message to me. It's better than email :D Include an address you would like it mailed to, and I'll get it out this week.





All copies have now been spoken for, 2 in this thread and one by PM. Thanks!!!
