Re: compatibility mode

Hello,

you can right-click a program exe file, select Properties -> tab
Compatibility. There, you can set the mode.
Or, go to Start -> Control Panel -> and type Compatiblity into the search
box. Click the link "Use an older program..." and follow the wizard.

Hope this helps you.
Greetings,
P. Di Stolfo
