It's really annoying when you get a new operating
system such as Windows Vista, but your old favorite programs are not
compatible or will not work properly. I remember having the same problem
when Windows XP came out, however now you can make most older programs run
in Windows Vista.
You can change settings for a particular program by
using the Program Compatibility Wizard. Older
Programs have now become more compatible with Windows Vista.
| Just say you had used a program
successfully in Windows Xp and then your upgraded to Windows Vista. If
the program failed to run correctly you can change the compatibility
options.
Here's how to find a programs compatibility
options:
- Right click on the .exe file for
the program you want to run. A menu will appear.
- Choose Properties from the menu.
- Click on the Compatibility tab.

How to find a programs .exe file
If a program is already installed on your computer
there will be a folder in Program files. To find this folder:
- Open My computer from the Start Menu.
- Double click on C drive.
- Program files folder will be there.
- Double click on this folder and search for a folder
that matches the program you want to change.
For example if you wanted to find Microsoft office
.exe file you would look for a folder named Microsoft office.
