Does Greetings 99 work in XP

I have installed and unistalled it and reinstalled but still get the same problem. When ever I go to do anything it say the following

Sorry You Can't Continue
Something is missing

to locate the missing piece, close all open programs, restart your computer, and then run microsoft greetings setup again

Doesn't sound promising.

76273 2002-09-04 07:01:00 Greetings99 does not work on XP. I tried the compatibility wizard. Microsoft has an article somewhere on their site saying its not compatible. I had to make the PC dual boot so the Mrs could keep using it. I have seen new versions of it for $60 or $70 in the shops. wotz (335)
76274 2002-09-04 08:24:00 Yes I found an article that said to try to use compatibility wizard. It didn't work so I have resigned myself to the fact that I need to upgrade. I have seen a newer version for between $40 and $50 so will go get it.

Thanks all for your help any way.

76275 2002-09-04 10:47:00 HI All . I have Greetings 99 and XP Pro .

IT WORKS!

This is what you have to do:

Click Start, point to Programs, and then click Microsoft Clip Gallery .
Right-click a catgory (any one will do) .
Click Recover .
Click Compact .
Quit Clip Gallery .



Then try running Greetings 99 .

Tell me if it doesnt work . it worked for me .



Go to:
. microsoft . com/default . aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q221993" target="_blank">support . microsoft . com

For more detail . But its confusing . Do what i said first .

76276 2002-09-04 10:52:00 Just a note:
I spent 1 and a half ours on sunday morning trying to get the thing to work, so i could make a card for Dad!

bit late, i could have done one quicker by hand, but my mum said to do it on the computer.

oh well, hope it works

76277 2002-09-04 11:06:00 Joe, my wife says a chocky fish for you!!! I only had to go to step 2 of your list - go to clipart gallery and right click. Thanks dude. I can now get rid of win98. Only have 8gig drive and things starting to get tight. wotz (335)

76279 2002-09-05 05:30:00 Bad news I haven't been able to get it to work

I have tried do as stated .
I have tried compacting and then running greetings while clip gallery is running .
Ihave tried reinstalling again
I have tried the clip gallery thing and then restarted .

Nothing . I am getting further than I did before though . The error message doesn't come up and I can select some other things, BUT once I have selected the main selection EG Greeting Cards; Friendship; General; Serious; There is nothing in the Pick Design area so I can't go on . It is like this in every area .

:(

Looks like I may have to upgrade after all unless you know something else I should do ??

Cheers
