===================================
Yes, you can still purchase Digital Image Suite
Anniversary Edition...you just have to check with
suppliers like Amazon and eBay.

After the 60 trial expires the program should still
function in reduced functionality mode.

Hi john, i downloaded the 60 day free trial of the digital image starter
edition 2006, it very much like picture it 7, except it does not have frames
on it, like picture it 7 or do you not get everthing with it being free, i
have read the help page & it says you can do it, but there is no frames to
use.

=============================
Look for.....
"Microsoft Digital Image Suite 2006"
(there is a Vista compatibility patch
available for this version)

MS Digital Image 2006
*Vista Compatibility* Update
http://tinyurl.com/w5u58

or...
"Microsoft Digital Image Suite 2006
Anniversary Edition" (this version is
optimized for Vista and doesn't require
the patch)

This software line has been discontinued
but it may be possible to find copies at
online sites like eBay and Amazon.

I too was having this same problem with the install for Microsoft
Greetings on Vista.

I finally found a fix for it. This worked for me and I can now use my
Greetings program again! Maybe it will work for some of you too.

This is what I did. Put in the Greetings disk, go to "Computer" and
locate the Greetings program. Then locate the applications setup .exe
file. Then right click on the .exe file and then select "properties".
Then click on the compatibility tab. From there you will pick the
Windows XP operating system. That's it!!! Now try installing the
Greetings program.

That's all I had to do and now it works!

Supposedly this will also work for others programs that don't want to
install on Vista.

I have Greetings 2001.

Tracy
