| Guest | Re: Compatibility Wizard It is not the program I am trying to install, the program is already installed and I want to run it as the administrator and the XP sp2 mode. The only way I have found to do this is go into Help and type in compatibility. From there I can open the Compatibility Wizard. This seems to be the long way around to get to the Wizard.

That's what Mick meant. See screenshot below for an idea of what it looks like.  Hope this helps, Shawn |
