Getting an Older Program to Run on Windows XP

1.Rightâ€“click the executable or the program shortcut to the executable, and then click Properties.

2.Select the Run this program in compatibility mode check box.

3.From the list, select an operating system that the program runs in comfortably.

If necessary, also change the display settings and/or resolution, or disable the Windows XP visual themes.
Run the program again when youâ€™re finished changing the settings. Adjust the compatibility settings again if the program is still not running smoothly: a program thatâ€™s unhappy on Windows 2000 may flourish on Windows 98.
