Transfering a program from Windows 98 to Vista
- I have a card file (.crd) from Windows 98 that I have been able to put into every program I have had since then. I have a Gateway desktop and a Dell desktop both with Vista on them I have been able to add my card file to the Gateway but the Dell won't let me. All of my personal information is on the cards. THe error message is "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows that you're running. Check your computers system information to see whether you need x86(32 bit) or 64 (64 bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher". I have tried everything I can think of but nothing works. Any info you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Cardfile.exe predates Windows 95, it actually appeared back in WFWG 3.11. Under the circumstances, I'm going to guess the Dell is a 64 bit machine. I can tell you cardfile does work on my Vista 32 setup. If all else fails, you may need third party help:

- The cardfile.ex_ on the NT 3.51 CD is a 64 bit program and works quite well with the 64 bit Vista

- I do not have a copy of the NT 3.51 CD. Any idea how I can obtain a copy of cardfile.ex_ ? I would like to see if it is compatible with Windows 7 64 bit.
