Repost: Installing old programs in Windows XP?

[Guest]

Thanks for your reply. I've tried right clicking on the program's setup
file, selecting Properties from the drop down menu, clicking the
compatibility tab and then placing a tick in the box next to the 'run this
program in compatibility mode for' and clicking the arrow in the dialogue box
just beneath that option and selecting an operating system to run it under.
It doesn't offer an option for Windows XP, only Windows 95, 98, NT and 2000,
so I was unable to install the program. Any more suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi,

Compatibility mode is for installing and running use operating system
conditions other than those native to Windows XP. If it is compatible with
WinXP, you wouldn't use compatibility mode.

If you must post identical messages in more than one newsgroup please
crosspost, i.e. please place all of the newsgroups in the Newsgroup field of
one message, separated by commas. That way when someone reads the message
in one newsgroup it will be marked as read in all of them. In addition, an
answer posted in one newsgroup will generally show up in all of them.

This is usually not necessary since most of those who answer posts read
more than one newsgroup.
