Can not load software on vista

This software is not compatible with Windows Vista. I believe you can only use it with XP. 3D Home Architect Deluxe from Broderbund has been discontinued.
Only works with:
Microsoft Windows 98/Me/2000/Xp Pentium II class processor (300 MHz or higher) 96 MB RAM (128 MB Recommended)

There is a version 6.0 of this software but has bad reviews.
I found a better rated software like this one:
Home Design Architectural Series 18
This has received "TopTenREVIEWS Gold Award".

Includes:

  • Cabinet Wizard™
  • Texture Builder™
  • PlantFinder™
  • PhotoView™
  • Ultimate Deck™ - Deck design software module
  • Master Landscape™ - Landscape design program
  • 3D Furniture Workshop™ - Custom furniture design
  • FloorPlan Trace™
  • Home Estimator™
  • AutoFraming™
  • 3D RealModel
I found this from: http://home-design-software-review.toptenreviews.com/

Global Modification to get rid of Time of Events. I've been using CC for years for a family calendar. Now as I move data into CC10 this year, suddenly times are added to each event (birthdays, ann

If you are using Calendar Creator (CC) version 10 and you want to remove the time of events from the calendar, you can do so by following these steps:
  1. Open Calendar Creator and select the calendar that you want to modify.
  2. Click on the "Edit" menu and choose "Global Modification".
  3. In the "Global Modification" window, select the "Date/Time" tab.
  4. Under "Date/Time Format", select the option for "Date only" and click "OK".
  5. The time of events will now be removed from the calendar.
Keep in mind that this change will apply to all events on the calendar, so any events that have a specific time associated with them will no longer display the time on the calendar. If you only want to remove the time of certain events, you will need to modify those events individually.

Installing print shop 23 on windows 8.1 get framework incompatibility error. what should i do?

I now have PrintShop 23.1 up and running on my Windows 8.1. This is what worked for me: 1. First, RIGHT CLICK on the Printshop icon on your desktop, select Properties, click on Compatibility, and make the selection to run the program in Compatibility Mode for Windows 8. Click Apply, then OK to exit. 2. Double click the Printshop icon on your desk top to open Printshop. If it works - great! However, if it does NOT work, it means the .NET framework required to run the program was uninstalled or corrupted by the Windows 8.1 upgrade and needs to be reinstalled, so please do the following. 3. From your Control Panel, select Programs and Features; in Programs and Features, uninstall Printshop. (You get to the Control Panel by clicking on Settings in your desktop popout taskbar, usually on the right side.) 4. Check to make sure the Microsoft .NET framework is also uninstalled. If not, attempt to uninstall. If you have recently gone to Windows 8.1, it may be partly or fully uninstalled because the 8.1 upgrade might have removed (or damaged) part of it. If it will not uninstall, don't worry! Proceed . . . 5. Follow this step even if you see no sign of the .NET framework in Programs and Features. It is almost certain that you have debris from it on your computer because this is a known problem, and Printshop will not reinstall unless the debris is removed. THEREFORE, clean your computer by using the Microsoft .NET Framework Cleanup Tool found at the following link: .NET Framework Cleanup Tool http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2008/08/28/8904493.aspx 6. AFTER Printshop is once again installed, it will very likely NOT RUN unless you follow Step #1, above, to run it in Windows 8 Compatibility Mode.
