Bobbiedew 0 Posted February 7, 2001 I have windows 2000, purchased the product Home Design 3D and started to install this. The installation stopped, requested that I have windows 95/98. Is there a patch or something that can help me convert the down load? Thank you. Share this post Link to post
Bursar 0 Posted February 7, 2001 On your Windows 2000 CD is a file called APCOMPAT.EXE Copy it it your hard drive and run it. You can use it as a lauch platform for other applications and it tries to fool the applications into thinking they are running on Win9x. I can't be certain that it will work, but give it a go. Failing that, try the website for the software and see if there is a patch that will help you out. If all else fails, I hope you kept the receipt! Share this post Link to post
Four and Twenty 0 Posted February 7, 2001 also there is an updated application compatibility toolkit available from the M$ website. You may have better results with the newer version as the one that comes on the win2k cd does not work all that well from my experience. Share this post Link to post
Bobbiedew 0 Posted February 9, 2001 Thanks, I plan on trying this and if it doesn't work, then the next reply will most likely help also.
