Compatibility Wizard

I cannot start the Program Compatibility Wizard, I've tried serching it on
the whole computer and I get no results. Any suggestions.

Re: Compatibility Wizard

Search Help and Support for

old programs

But it might not help. Compatibility with old programs hasn't been a high
priority in this beta yet. The focus appears to be on getting Vista to work
first, worry about old programs later.

Re: Compatibility Wizard

When you right click on a program and choose properities you should see a
Compatibility Tab.

Re: Compatibility Wizard

When I do that I cannot open the 'help and support' . I it says ' Internet
Explorer was not able to open this internet site. The requested site is
either unavaible or cannot be found. Please try again.' And no matter how
many times I try it would not work, and it's not the internet, if that would
be the case I would no be able to write you down right now.

Re: Compatibility Wizard

I understand the tab, what I said is that no matter what version of windows
programs worked on before the program after going through its process does
not work. Programs will not revert back in earlier versions of Windows. One
program was OFFICE 2004 didn't work so had to download the version 7 now.

other things that do not work is AUDIO DRIVERS-- > does not work on Vista or
previous versions and AUDIO CODEX

Re: Compatibility Wizard

I also haven't had any success with the wizard. In addition, I have been
unable to uninstall programs that I used the wizard to install.
