How can I install an older version of Calendar Creator Plus on a new Windows 7 PC?

I have Calendar Creator Plus Version 2 for Windows, which worked well on Windows XP. When I try to install it on my new Windows 7 PC, I get a message that it is incompatble. Is it possible to install it? If not, can I get a new version which will accept the data file that contains many years of my old program calendar information?

You have the latest version of the software? Some earlier programs may not work in Windows 7.

If this is not the case, check with the manufacturer of Calendar Creator Plus program if they have updates to update or fixes for the software.

Another Option - XP Mode

If you have Windows 7 Professional/ultimate, you can download and install Windows XP Mode. XP Mode is a virtual XP installation that runs 32-bit inside Windows 7. It is similar to a normal installation of XP, with a few exceptions closely: only uses a processor single-core has access to the USB and serial ports, DVD access is read-only, limited to 16-bit graphics (3D games don't play well). It will allow to install programs, most (but not all) that used to install in Windows 7, but has worked with previous versions.
