Running Incompatible S/W in Windows 7


The Major drawback of Vista was it's Compatibility issues with older programs. But Windows 7 comes with a Program Compatibility Mode that simulates the behavior of of previous versions of windows for that program. You can change the compatibility settings for a program either manually or by using the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter

Here are The Steps to do it Manually..

* Right click on the program which you wish to run on compatibility mode

* Choose Troubleshoot Compatibility

* A Program Compatibility Assistant will be launched

* It automatically detects known Compatibility issues

* Notifies you if it finds any issues

* Tries to fix it the next time your program is run

Note:

It does not make any changes to your program. It just resolves the conflicts with UAC giving high privilege to your program or simulate an earlier version of Windows.
