My OS is Windows Vista Home Premium. I have Am. Greetigs CreataCard Platinum 7. Does this not work with my OS? It seems to be "preparing for installation" a long time with no luck to run the program. HELP!!!!!
Re: My OS is Windows Vista Home Premium. I have Am....
Start the "Windows Compatibility Wizard".
Select that you want to install a "Windows XP Application".
Point to the CD-ROM containing the software.
Install it by selecting the 'setup.exe' file.

Start the "Windows Compatibility Wizard", and tell it that you want to install a "Windows XP" program. Windows 7 will then read the CD, and install the program, and run it in "XP" mode.
Creatacard cannot be run under Windows 7 because of compatibility issues. You have to right click on the executable file that will start the application and click Properties. Select Compatibility tab and check the Windows version you know the program worked with before. You can find more about this Compatibility issue on Microsoft website http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows
If this is a new install from a new purchase, always give the manufacturer a call because they should know what it is compatable with and walk you thru most common problems.
I have the same problem when trying to install on Vista (Home version), except it freezes at 4% intalling fonts. Have tried to adjust setup.exe properties to compatible options, still doesn't work. Also used Windows Vista compatability wizard with no luck.
CreataCard Platinum 6 is designed to be used with Windows 95/98/2000/Me or NT 4 and XP, therefore in order to run it in Vista I'd suggest to run your program using Compatinity Mode --> Go to your Desktop --> Right click on the program icon--> Properties-->Compatibility--> select one of the versions above
Hello, It looks as though American Greetings has discontinued CreataCard which means they shut down the online content. There is no solution as American Greetings no longer supports the product.
The program is not compatible with Windows Vista.
Sorry for the bad news. Your English is just fine! -WN
