older software compatibility

[Gayle Smalley]

I would like to load "Microsoft Greetings 2000" on my HP
pavilion. I like this Hallmark card program better than
the new 2003 Sierra home edition because of access to on-
line clip art and its better print range. Is it
compatible? Or will installing it gum up my system?

Try it, and if you don't like it, remove it. If you are worried about
it, do a check point on system restore so that you can "undo it". my
hunch (without any experience of this program) is that it will be ok.

Hi Gayle,

In addition to Rob,

- Check with the program distributor for any needed patches or updates.

- If it doesn't install/run natively, try the Program Compatibility Wizard
and run it under an OS it was designed for.
