I Googled for "Microsoft Greetings 99 compatible XP?" and got this
interesting link:

Basically, it says the program is not compatible with XP. The post
refers to the following MS Knowledge Base article which gives a way you
might be able to run the program in Compatibility Mode:

But probably you're going to have to buy an XP-compatible program.
