Check to see if the cd is compatible with windows 7. It might not be. If it isn't check the website of the manufactorer to see if they have a download. If they do you can make that download compatible on a windows 7 machine.
If you have windows 7 professional version you can install xp and then put the disk on the xp part of windows 7.
I too have upgraded to Win 7, and have had nothing but problems trying to replicate the Calendar Creator V 2 I used happily for about 15 years in Win XP. I have spent now 2 months on the project and am going nuts. I paid $90 for the upgrade to Win 7 PRO, so I could run my old Calendar Creator in “Virtual XP”, and spent a month getting it to work, only to have it all erased when I had problems with Virtual XP and then made the mistake of letting a Microsoft tech support person uninstall it and reinstall it, wiping out my weeks of work getting the old Calendar Creator rebuilt. (Do NOT try that PRO route!) I bought Calendar Creator 12 to work in Win 7, and it too is loaded with problems, such as 1) I am spending many hours relearning how to get the same stuff done that I could do so easily in the old version , 2) It is very tricky importing my old style="display:none;">I too have upgraded to Win 7, and have had nothing but problems trying to replicate the Calendar Creator V 2 I used happily for about 15 years in Win XP.

Now I am finding that CPA requires me to get into its programming language to get a satisfactory use of fonts, etc. Sorry for this rant, but after the time and money I have spent to get what I already had before "upgrading", it's just amazing that the state of the art in Calendar software is so pathetic.
