Getting an Older Program to Run on XP

Getting an Older Program to Run on Windows XP 

If an older application gives you trouble when running Windows XP, you can set the
compatibility properties manually so that the program runs in a different mode, such as
Windows 95, or in a different display or resolution setting.


·    Right-click the executable or the program shortcut to the executable, and then click
Properties.
·    Select the Run this program in compatibility mode check box.
·    From the list, select an operating system that the program runs in comfortably.
·    If necessary, also change the display settings and/or resolution, or disable the
Windows XP visual themes.
Run the program again when you're finished changing the settings. Adjust the
compatibility settings again if the program is still not running smoothly: a program
that's unhappy on Windows 2000 may flourish on Windows 98.
