Vista+Program+Compatibility

Vista Program Compatibility Many people have had a problem with Programs being incompatible with Vista. Well there exists in Vista something called Program Compatibility Wizard But it is not that simple or easy to find what you have to do is as follows:- In Vista, there is a Control Panel Home view and a Classic view and you must be in the Control Panel Home view to find the Wizard. If your set-up is Classic view it will be hidden from you. Go to :- Start > Control Panel You should see a dot/period against the view which you are in, if you are not in Home simply click it. Now select Programs and then select Use an older program with this version of Windows. Now follow the Wizard’s instructions and you should be able to run your preferred program. So now most of the programs that worked with XP also work with Vista, however, you may have some trouble with a lot of the older programs. Note:- Do not use the wizard with any older anti virus programs, disk utilities, or other system programs. If you did you are asking for serious problems with security holes or even data loss.
