download the uninstaller program for the internet. it will clear out all the system files of the previous version then try installing the new version. next time uninstall the program don't delete it.

Unfortunately the Windows OS has changed significantly since that software was released. Nova Developement now has the Greeting Card Factory Deluxe version 8 for XP/Vista/7.

If you have the 64-bit Vista, you may not be able to get the old software to work and need the upgrade or a virtual computer with an older Windows OS (see below). To check your OS version, click Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System .

You can try running the program in the compatibility mode - this will work best with software for XP not Win95-NT. Right click on the installer and select Properties. Go to the Compatibility tab and choose Run this program as compatible with (an older version of Windows). Click on the check box and use the drop-down menu to select the older OS. Save the change by clicking apply then close the window. Right click again on the installer and choose Run as Administrator.

If the program installs, do the same compatibility steps for the program's exe file itself. (You don't need to run as administrator though.)

Alternatively, you can run a dual boot or virtual computer with an older Windows OS. (Programs like Virtual PC, Parallels and VMWare let you run a virtual computer inside the Vista system with a computer that can handle virtualization.) Unfortunately, you usually need a licensed version of Windows to do this. (Win7 Pro and Ultimate let you do this free with Virtual PC and XP mode.) Then install the software normally in the virtual computer or when booted into the older version of Windows. File transfer can be tricky with the virtual computer - you need to save files to external media (flash drive or optical disc). Printers can't be installed on both the real and virtual computer at the same time.

I hope this helps.

Nova Development no longer supports Greeting Card Factory 5 on their website, but it looks like Greeting Card Factory 5 is only compatible with Windows versions up to Windows XP. You could try installing it in Windows 7, but it probably won't work right.

However, Greeting Card Factory 8 is fully compatible with Windows 7.

well this might be the issue because of the problem with the incompatible installer or if the OS is not up to date so try to update the OS and try to install it.

good luck.

If you using operative system above Windows xp, it is not compatible. Se here :
http://www.amazon.com/American-Greetings-Spiritual-Expressions-Jewel/dp/B00006IS7Q

They write compatible with : Windows Me / XP / 98 / 2000

you can try to upgrade your software to a newer version, try to ask the software provider, normally it is writed in the field About under the Help menu.

Hope that helps

insert disk
click on MYCOMPUTER and then RIGHT-CLICK on the drive and then click or EXPLORE

This should open a folder for the disk. somewhere in there should be an EXE file with SETUP in the title.

if the folder doesn't display the contents you may have a bad disk
if it does and you cant find a setup program let me know.

is this the only disk you have had trouble with lately?

The reason I couldn't put it on my PC was I haven't got a dvd writer. Which wasn't made clear from whom I bought it. Very disapointed.
