Internet Appliances
Unfortunately, Internet appliances such as AOL TV, I-opener, I-PAQ, MSN TV / Companion, Pocketmail, WebTV, etc. do not have the capability to use the full range of features on our site. Some newer web appliances come with a version of the Flash plugin necessary to view animation. If you have one of these, you may be able to send and receive our online ecards.

Software
Some programs meant to safeguard your computer, or programs that effect web browsing, can interfere with some of the features on our site. If you have any problems while on the site (such as logging in or downloading one of our tools), you may need to add www.egreetings.com to your security software’s exception list.
