can cyber chess download to windows 10?

Hi , do you mean that the subject program will not install using Windows 10 operating system ?
If so , try running the app's setup program located on the install disk media in compatibility mode for an earlier Windows version such as XP sp3
Compatibility mode enables a late version native Windows to run a program as per a user designated earlier version Windows and so extend support for obsolete apps that may not run using default settings

Navigate to the install disk's file directory using Windows Explorer (not the browser) , click on the folder to open and scroll down to the setup ( application) file . Right click to open the context menu and select properties > compatibility : check : run this program in compatibility mode and select from drop down list XP sp3 (my guess) or latest published supported Windows version for the subject app.
Check under privilege level : run this program as an administrator
click apply > ok then close and double click app's setup file to launch installation
Hopefully will now install and app will subsequently launch and process correctly.

how can i make ms greetings compatible with windows 10

I believe like previous versions of Windows, 10 will allow you to run the program in compatible mode. Try right clicking and see if you can get it to open in compatible mode, for whatever you used to run it in.

The application will not open in windows 10. Uninstalled it, removed folders& regkey entries.Installed clean version. Installation went fine. However the application it self will not open.

According to the software release notices, it wasn't until version 7.0d that they made it Windows 7 compatible. You aren't saying what OS you are migrating from, but it may be that you are running too old a version of the program. You could try one of two other options.
  1. Try running the program as an administrator. Right click on the program icon and select "run as administrator".
  2. Try running in compatibility mode for the OS you were using it with previously, right click on the program icon and select the "properties item". Then click on the compatibility tab and use the pulldown to select the OS to simulate the program for.
If they both fail to work, you may have to upgrade to a newer version. Many older applications stopped playing nice starting with Windows 8. Many of them actually worked if you loaded VISTA drivers and/or compatibility, but not all. Most Windows 7 and later software has no issues with Win10.
