If you have a program stuck on compatibility mode, you should be able to right-click on the executable (either installer or application) and find the Compatiblity Tab. Make sure the box “Run this program in compatibility mode for:”. Also, at the bottom of this tab is a button: “Show settings for all users”. click it and make the same change in the popped-up window “Compatibility for all users”.

Hi, I am wondering if I install Call of Duty 1 for PC on Windows Vista Home Premium can I set it to work like XP. I have heard that Call of Duty doesnt work for Vista, so I wanna be able to set it to work like XP.

I have a new Acer computer with Vista – which I did not ask for, and I find that I cannot use Office XP. I need to be able to use MS word for my work and I am getting frustrated because people keep telling me that it will not work. Can you advise me how to use Office XP with Vista? Is this possible in your experience? I would appreciate it if you could help me.

Ever Hopeful
Martin
