Try using the Compatibility Mode feature.
# Start by right-clicking on the shortcut icon for MS Greetings Workshop.
# From the menu that pops up, click on "properties".
# Click the tab that says "compatibility".
# There is a section on that tab titled "Compatibility mode", check the box next to the text reading "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
# From the drop-down menu below that check box, make sure "Windows 95" is showing/selected. # Click Apply. # Click OK Try running the program again by double-clicking the icon whose properties you just edited.
If it doesn't work, it may be because it has already logged its errors into the registry. Uninstall the app, reinstall it, and run through the "Compatibility Modes" steps again before trying to run the program.
Good luck!

Does Microsoft greetings workshop work with windows vista?
You have Greetings Workshop? I have the 98 version! ^-^ I absolutely adore it! It is so easy to make things and I just made a couple of things 2 days ago. Anyways, yes it does! You can run Greetings Workshop (at least my old version) in Windows XP or Windows Vista Basic if you run Windows XP or Windows Vista Basic as Virtual PC sessions with the proper settings. Virtual PC lets me "dial in" the memory available to the OS. For Windows XP: set memory size to 786mb or less works, set to 787mb or greater does not work. For Windows Vista Basic: set memory size to 903mb or less works, set to 904mb or greater does not work. You do not need to use any compatibility settings with Greetings Workshop... just control the amount of memory available to the OS. I have no idea why this works, but this does explain issues like "I upgraded my Windows XP computer and now Greetings Workshop no longer runs". Best of luck... I have no idea why this fixes the problem, but am happy to say that I now have a new solution to an old problem.

How do you install greetings workshop on vista?
Greeting Workshop and other programs you might be having trouble installing on Vista, will install. Simply turn off UAC (User Account Control). As to whether the program will successfully run is yet another question...still looking for the definitive answer...keep you posted.
