Windows Vista or Windows 7, will have problems running some older versions of applications, just because so much has changed under the hood from Windows XP days.
Thankfully there is a compatibility mode that can be easily set per system.To configure the compatibility mode for an system, just locate the installation directory and right hit the .exe, selecting Properties from the menu.
opt for Compatibility tab:
you could choose to spin up the program in Windows XP compatibility mode, or even all the way back to Windows 95 compatibility.
Probably the most useful setting to start off with would be to turn off the visual themes and desktop composition, if you’ve got the option to’t get things working.
If you are trying to run a video game, you will often need to choose “Run this program as an administrator”.
You’ll have to play around with it, but most likely you’re able to get your app working this way.
