Re: Downloading older software

Rafsac

There are some compatibility options to try.

Right click the executable file for the older program and select
Properties/Compatibility Tab. There are several options there. Select the
Run this program in compatibility mode for: and use the drop down menu to
select an older operating system. If you see any error messages about
running the program as an administrator, select the Run As Administrator
option.
