Subject: Vista question about "compatibility mode" and "safe mode"

[Ray]

Hi, my problem is I'm trying to run a program which can only run under two
conditions:
1) Can only run under windows XP.
2) Needs to run in safe mode to work correctly.

I can solve the first problem by simply runing the program under
compatibility mode (so it thinks its running under XP SP2). but the problem
is that in Safe Mode I can't use the compatibility mode because the
option is greyed out.

So my question is; is there any other way to use compatibility mode while in
Safe mode? like from the command line?

Many thanks in advance.

No, your choices are pretty much limited to a dual boot, or Virtual PC.
