Posted January 4, 2010 – 5:11 pm in: Windows 7 Tweaks
We told you how to use the Windows 7 Program Compatibility Trouble-shooter in the days gone by. Most of Windows Vista compatible programs work fine in Windows 7 as well, but some older programs might run poorly or not at all.
If a program works fine in Vista and not Windows 7, you can use either Program Compatibility Troubleshooter wizard or refer this guide to solve compatibility issues. The only downside with the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter wizard is that it might take a few minutes to complete the procedure.
So if you don’t like to go through the long procedure of Program Compatibility Troubleshooter wizard, here is a quick way to run a program in compatibility mode.
How to run a program in compatibility mode:
1. Right-click on the setup file and select Properties. If a program is not working correctly after the successful installation, right-click on its Start menu entry and then select Properties.
2. Once the properties is opened, switch to Compatibility tab.
3. Under the Compatibility tab, enable Run this program in compatibility mode for option and select Vista SP2 or XP SP3 in the drop down list.
4. Click Apply button.
5. Now execute the program to run in compatibility mode.
