Windows XP includes a "Compatibility Mode" in which you can "fool" programs into thinking they are running in an older Windows version.

 If you are having problems with a program that used to work in your previous version of Windows, you should try the Program Compatibility Wizard included in Windows XP to get your program to function properly.

 You start the Program Compatibility Wizard as follows: click Start > All Programs > Accessories > Program Compatibility Wizard.

 When you start the wizard, the first options you are presented with is how you want to locate the program that you would like to run in compatibility mode. You can choose from:

•  Choose from a list of programs
•  Use the program in the CD-ROM drive
•  Locate the program manually
