Calendar Creator V-12

[RedT]

I have, what I hope, is an easy question. My new desktop came loaded with Windows 7 and so my old Calendar Creator Plus (A very old V 1.0 program) won't run. Is anyone familiar with this program? It made nice little calendars that had an "@count" function that added a year to whatever event I put in.  For example, for birthdays and anniversaries it would automatically add a year on the following year's calendar. I tried CC versions 7.0 and 9.0, but the terminology has changed and I am lost. For example in the old version, I could open several Event Lists and all would appear on the calendar, whereas on Versions 9.0, I can't seem to have but only one event list on a calendar.

I must be doing something wrong, but can't seem to find the answer anyplace in the documentation.  Any ideas?

Install the program again, but this time use XP compatibility mode.
Windows XP Mode

Thanks for answering Geek Windows Expert, but that wasn't the question. Maybe you could re-read the question?

Sorry.
My idea was for you to try old program in XP mode.
Myself, I really hate it when the vendors want us to re-learn something.

Actually, I do have a version of the program. Have not used in years.
But I did like the pictures they had.

Looking over a recent review, personally I would go to a rival program rather that trying to learn the new version. They make it harder that it needs to be. IMHO , poor software design. Making things harder is not progress. There are several rival downloads on CNET's download.com

Hate to be negative, but that is how I see it.

Did you try v.1 in XP mode?  Then you wouldn't have to relearn anything.

And if that doesn't work, you could run whatever OS v.1 worked with, as a virtual machine using VMWare, VirtualBox or whatever.

I think that might have been what Geek was thinking of?
