Application Compat

[Anon-65e40e4a71 0]

Hi, I just installed C&C Red Alert on my WINXP box and it went fine as long as it was run in Win95 compat mode, is there a piece of software that'll enable me to run things in win95 compat mode on my WIN2K box? Any URL's would be appreciated as the MS site doesn't like me

To enable an interface so that you can use this technology for your programs after you apply Windows 2000 SP2:

1. Log on as Administrator.

 

2. Click Start , and then click Run .

 

3. In the Open box, type the following command, and then click OK , where %SystemRoot% is the drive and folder in which Windows is installed:

 

regsvr32 %systemroot%\apppatch\slayerui.dll

 

Administrators can use a program shortcut to set the compatibility mode for a target program. This requires that the Compatibility-mode properties be correctly installed and registered on the computer by using the previous steps. To enable Compatibility mode by using a program shortcut:

1. Log on as Administrator.

 

2. Right-click the shortcut, and then click Properties .

 

3. Click the Compatibility tab. This tab appears only if the Compatibility-mode interface has been properly enabled on the computer.

 

4. Click to select the Run in Compatibility Mode check box to enable Compatibility-mode support for the program.

 

5. Click either Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 compatibility mode in the drop-down box.

 

6. Click OK to save the changes.

 

7. Double-click the shortcut to run the program.
