Hi Peter,
That's interesting. I've been using Calendar Creator Plus Version 1.0 by PowerUp for many years. It's the first version made for Windows, following the DOS versions. Over the years, I acquired some later Broderbund versions of the program, but decided to stay with the older 1.0. It does everything I want and works perfectly with the latest version of XP. I wonder what PowerUp knew that Broderbund doesn't. Or is it planned obsolescence?

Subject: [PCSOFT] calendar creator

I recently re-installed Windows XP Pro on my system and found that suddenly
my Calendar Creator 6 program no longer works. On the old install of XP Pro,
I had problems installing it, but once installed, it ran fine. Now it
installed ok but crashes when I try to run it. Broderbund (owners of the
program) say that this version is not supported on XP.

There are two questions I have.

1. I would like to figure out why the software ran fine before but not now.
I tried copying all the program files and registry entries from the old
system to the new one but it still crashes. Has anyone else run Calendar
Creator 6 on XP? Incidentally, Calendar Creator 4 runs fine on XP!
2. To bypass the problem, I thought of buying a newer version of Calendar
Creator. On e-bay, there is version 9 for sale for only $5 including
shipping. However, it is surplus software and they don't guarantee that a CD
Key comes with their software. Does anyone know if Calendar Creator 9
requires a Key?
Thank you,
Peter
