The Program Compatibility Wizard under
Control Panel and Programs will permit you to use an older program with
Windows Vista. The tool is designed to help users that are experiencing
functionality issues with an application in Vista, although the problems
were not there with a prior version of Windows. The wizard will detect
all the programs installed, and also permit the selection and testing of
compatibility settings. Everything from display settings, to desktop
composition and to administrative privileges can be set through the
wizard. Run the Program
Compatibility Wizard
1. Open the Program Compatibility Wizard by clicking the Start button ,
clicking Control Panel, clicking Programs, and then clicking Use an
older program with this version of Windows.
2. Follow the instructions in the wizard.
If you cannot install a program, insert the installation disc for the
program and, using the wizard, browse to the program's setup file,
usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. The wizard
is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name
extension.
To change compatibility settings manually for a program, right-click the
icon for the program, click Properties, and then click the Compatibility
tab.
