Program compatibility - reinstall an old American Greetings crafts #2 program

This old program will not reinstall on a new version of the Windows 7 computer. Broderbund is the title company that shut down to American Greetings with a copyright of 1999. Licensed by the learning company. It was made for Windows 95/98 & Windows NT CD-ROM. Any suggestions?

Hello DanReed,

If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.
Use the following steps:
(1) right click on the program
2) click Properties
3) click on the Compatibility tab
(4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or other operating system, the program has been run successfully.

Check out the link here: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows
If you are running Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate version, install Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/default.aspx) and run your software in Windows XP.

If you run Windows 7 Home Premium, try VirtualBox (www.virtualbox.org) or VMware Player (www.vmware.com), or any other 3rd party software virtualization and install a separate copy of Windows XP (family or professional edition) for this purpose. You can find the virtualization software free that will run on Windows 7 Home Premium.

I hope this helps.

    The software is designed for an earlier version of Windows such as Windows XP? Most older programs don't work with Windows 7, in particular some programs for Windows XP, can you need to perhaps upgrade to Windows 7 Professional or ultimate edition if you run not an edition and download the Windows XP Mode free program which will allow you run old programs:

  • American Greetings Creatacard Gold 3 version

    Hello

    I read a thread on a problem that someone had with this program, but it didn't exactly relate to what is my experience, that's why I'm writing this. I have run this program for Win98 and finally on Win XP home without problem (I guess it is a 32-bit program).

    I bought a new pc with Win7 JUST to run this card but WIn7 64-bit program, and tells me that I have to contact the Publisher of the software because it will not install. (I guess that's because it's 64 bit?)

    I am now the proud owner of a new Mac and want to switch entirely to my Mac, but still be able to run some programs WIndows that I need for work and this program A.G. CreataCard, too.

    I buy Vmware Fusion to allow me to do this on my Mac.  NOW I have to buy WIndows on the Mac.

    I was told the following by Apple: it must be an INTEGRAL (not upgrade) copy which has not been registered-fi Win XP, then SP2 or SP3... OEM NO.  I talked to anyone from VMware Fusion, which explained what that was OEM and I could use it but only once and that was OK until I maybe needed if I had to replace my Mac... he then said that he would probably buy the full version, not OEM.  Unless I could get the full version OEM at a really low price (what I can)

    He also told me that I could download Win 7 32 - bit version was UPDATED because there is NO need to be on the Mac already so WIN 7 is the only M/S, system that works in this way without having to install over a previous version of operation.  He also said to make sure that when I download it there. ISO files and NOT .exe files. (I am very confused about this because I don't know if I had a drive and required for installation on a MAC, that I have the choice of files... but I don't know... just my thought)

    He suggested to contact American Greetings to know IF my program would work with Win 7 32 - bit version... However, after an exhaustive search, I don't find not 'contact us' to actually email or talk to someone with American Greetings to this topic.

    Is there anyone here who KNOWS maybe if this version of my program runs on 32-bit Windows 7?

    If not, I'll probably just get Win - XP oem (also cheap that I can find it, because it will be once use) and it is no longer supported.

    Any help that anyone can give or any suggestion would be LARGELY APPRECIATED!

    Thank you very much

    Lynn

    You must have at least Windows 7 Professional to XP Mode and I don't know if you will be able to use XP Mode in VMware Fusion however to test your program in Windows 7, you can download the Windows 7 Enterprise 90-day trial , even though he says that it is designed specifically for the professionals nevertheless you can download and test it under Fusion.

    What is XP Mode it works like a virtual XP Machine and in a case like this, it would be a Virtual Machine that is nestled, in other words a VM running on a Virtual Machine, and this while this is technically feasible in some cases however it is not something that I would say was convenient for the general user.  That said, your other option is to install Windows 7 natively in Boot Camp and then run in XP Mode and it would give much better performance, although the draw back is you do also not OS X running simultaneously for use both at the same time.

    Whatever it is, you have a few options and can use free trials to determine who will be the best path to take by committing to the purchase of which is necessary to respond to your needs/desires.

    When I said "I don't know if you will be able to use XP Mode in VMware Fusion" I should say that I believe it can be done using VMware Player running under VMware Fusion Windows 7 Virtual Machine but not not using Microsoft Virtual PC, as it is intended to be run normally , under the VMware Fusion Windows 7 Virtual Machine.  Again, even if it goes to VMS nestled running and performance hit that will be taken as a result and why Boot Camp would be better if you were to use the XP Mode if the program will work directly under Windows 7.  Hope that all makes sense.

  • What version of the American Greetings CreataCard software is compatible with Windows 7 Ultimate?

    I had Windows XP and American Greetings CreataCard Gold Version 2. 1 worked perfectly.  Now I have Windows 7 Ultimate and the city Version 2. 1a does not at all.  Kindly advise me, what version of American Greetings GreataCard is compatible with Windows 7 Ultimate?  Best regards, jenny.

    Better to visit their web site. They will be more if something is not compatible. Ultimate should work fine with its XP mode Simulator. Check this. It should solve your problem: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx.

  • Windows 7 compatibility with the old game

    I used the resolution of compatibility issues in Control Panel to install my old pc game (cake mania 2) it installs and the game plays fine until I have shut down the game and try to reopen it. The convenience store said detected incompatible application.

    the programmer of the game say they're working on an upgrade to it. but do not know when it will be available.

    What don't get me, is why he runs very well the first time. I can even uninstall. reinstall it with the convenience store and my saved game is still there, and the game works perfectly until I got close.

    I am confused? Any ideas?

    Hi empony,

    When you are working on your computer and install a new program, the installation suddenly fails. Now, you're left with a partly installed program. You try to install the program again, but you're unsuccessful. Or, maybe you have problems trying to remove an old program because the installation files are damaged.

    Download and install the Windows Cleanup utility to uninstall the game completely from the computer, and then start with a new facility.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301

    Once done with the uninstallation, you can install the game in Compatibility Mode and check if it works very well.

    Access the link below to install the game in Compatibility Mode.

    Also, make sure that you temporarily disable any Antivirus software on the computer.

    Make sure that you enable the security software after the attempt.

  • How do I reinstall the old applications backed up using the backup recovery mgr software

    I fell off my machine after reloading some files of the .NET framework.  Because windows is more loaded, I used the HP recovery discs and made a backup complete both DVD and USB from my hard drive.  Then I went ahead and allow the recovery disk reformat and reload the factory system.  I went to use the recovery to re - install all applications and files, but it only copied all the stuff in a folder on my drive C:\.  IF ten to twelve apps (quicken, genealogy, adobe paintshop & pdf, MS SQL) are not loaded. It seems that my entire system sits in a file folder.  Great if I wanted to only data, but I really want to use applications without reloading everything from scratch.  I found no executable file to start such a reload. I was happy with my machine before the accident, and if I could do a simple recovery from before I installed these files, I would have done it instead of the reformat.  Alas, whatever the back backwards, I went, windows was pretty much DOA.

    I have a HP Pavilion with win7.

    Is it a lost cause?

    The HP Recovery software backup only a specific list of types of data files and the folder they reside in. No programs were backed up, and even if they were, they would not work properly. You will have to reinstall all the software that you previously installed.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
