I have installed Greenstreet Art & craft studio Desk calendars on to my PC which has 64bit windows 7 operating system. When I try to run the programe an application error message comes up stating an unknown message has occurred. I have tried running in windows xp compatibility (as I used this programe on my previous computer which had windows xp) I have tried to uninstall the program but the same message appears. Can you please help.

I'd try putting your Windows 7 install disc in and rebooting. I'd try a repair first to save my data, but a fresh install would be cleaner. It has happened before that your master boot record has been corrupted and it won't boot. You should google "win 7 mbr repair" and see if there is a way to do it in 7. I don't use 7 because it is limited compared to the version I use. A fresh install will fix your MBR.

Yep, that a problem alright. 16bit software is generally incompatible with 64bit OS's. However, you if the software will install, you could try running it in "compatibility mode." To do this just right mouse button click on the icon for the program and select "properties." Go to Compatibility and select Windows 95. There are other options, and you may need to try them too. In any case hopefully it will run for you.

Another possible method is to install Virtual PC (its free from MS) then the original operating system of the program -- DOS and Windows 3.1?-- and then the program itself onto the resulting "virtual pc".

This software is not compatable with the 64-bit version of Windows, but i have heard that Samsung Kies does.

x86 means 32bit operating system , x64 means 64bit operating system.Windows is divided into to categories 32 and 64 bit. In your case you might be trying to install 32bit operating system's software or a application in an 64bit operating system running machine. If you are getting the above mention error message than it is clear that your window 7 is 64bit operating system and a 64bit operating system doesn't support 32 bit's software. You only can install software or application you are meant for 64bit supporting.

GOOD LUCK.

If you have 2 HDD and one with Win7 64bit & one with win7 32bit. Try to boot in command prompt by pressing F8 during boot up.Forrmat the HDD you dont want. If it doesnot work. you need fresh install. Before doing any thing make sure you backup your files. Note: Try Factory reset option first. it is the best option.

Consider installing Linux Mint 64bit version. You can get it here for free https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=mint and
Say goodbye to BSD's from Microsoft.

Not compatible or not working well with windows 7?

Maybe, It doesn't work because the driver/application you installed is for other versions of operating system. I am also using windows 7 like you so don't you worry, You can still use your old installer/driver from other versions of operating systems. Just remember that before installing any program in a windows 7 Operating System Computer, Use "troubleshoot compatibility". Right Click the Icon of your program installer/application first, then choose "troubleshoot compatibility". This will allow you to choose on what type operating system your program will run. Just reply back if it still doesn't work.:D rate and vote for me:))

1.your software may not be compatible with the Windows 7 and will have to be run in the compatibility mode for Windows Vista.
Check the compatibility mode for the Vista to install your "craft studio"cd it may not be compatible with Vista and can only run in XP mode or Windows 98.

here is the instruction from Microsoft to use the compatibility mode in Windows Vista:

Start the Windows Program Compatibility Wizard.
Say that you're installing a Windows XP application.
Install your software.
