Announcements:

I am currently writing at Computelogy.com actively and that's why i sort of abandoned my own tech blog. Since i am too busy to be taking care of both sides, i guess this blog will go into hibernation for a very very long time. Regrettable, but then it's hard to come up with new posts & stuffs.

So once again, i am now writing actively at Computelogy. Feel free to visit there and enjoy our latest articles and posts!

Running software in Compatibility Mode with Vista

We all know that at the early stages when Vista was first released to public, lots of users complained that certain software which works in XP or earlier versions do not run in Vista. This is understandable, as some of the programming algorithm of software designed for previous version of Windows might not be able to suit the Vista environment.

Before users start moaning about it, here's what they can do: run the software in compatibility mode. Yup. Whenever you came across an older software which just refuse to run in Vista, try running it in compatibility mode first before you chuck the software into the Recycle Bin!

Here's how to access an executable program's compatibility mode function:

1. Right-click on an .exe executable program

2. Select 'Properties'

3. On the Properties window, select the 'Compatibility'tab.


4. In the Compatibility Mode column, check the box 'Run the program in compatibility mode for'.

5. If necessary, select the right operating system. In my situation however, normally selecting Windows XP will do.
