Try right clicking on the file and selecting the compatibility tab. Change the compatibility setting to match your old operating system. If this does not work, check the software's website to see if they have made a Vista-ready version. If neither of these work, then you may be stuck. The software might not be compatible with Vista. You can try to downgrade back to XP or whatever you've had before, but you should only do that if this software is necesary and it is your last resort.

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. 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.
