Compatability Mode

[Guest]

How do I get a short cut to have a compatability mode tab? Some shortcuts
have them automatically others don't. I am confused. I am trying to load
some software and I keep getting a message "1. Failed to install ISKernel
Files. Make sure you have appropriate privileges on this machine".
I am logged in as administrator (Windows Vista home premium) and somewhere
else on this site it suggests that the install could be run in compatability
mode (the software installed OK on XP Pro). But I cant seem to get the
machine into XP Pro mode. Can anyone help please?

You could try to reinstall the application, but this time right click on the
install file and select "Run as Administrator".

In addition to "Run as Administrator", you could right click on the install file
and on the Compatibility tab, choose Win XP SP2.

When I right click I do not have the option to 'Run As' or have a
compatability tab. That was why I was asking the question, How do I get the
Compatability tab to show?

On the setup or install file there are no such options?. Not on the program's
file.
