One question comes to mind. I think these cards may be almost all from the
defunct Greeting Card Factory Version 5. I had not planned on trying to fix
it and put it back on if I can get the newer version installed. The newer
versions will not install with an older version on the computer. I have,
though, installed newer versions and then went back and re-installed the
older version. I am currently using Vers. 1 and the Christian Greeting Card
Factory. I won't know until I get Vers. 6 installed whether or not it will
recognize cards from the older versions. In the past they have not.
So, if I have to have version five up and running in order to fix these, I
am probably going to just delete the lot of them!
I am curious, though, about the few that properties show in megabytes.
Can't even imagine what those could be.
