Computer Tips and Tricks

This link is valuable to those having trouble running programs in Vista that had no problem in XP or earlier Windows OS’es. I founf it over at Nirmaltv.com

Some software and games might be built for Windows XP and might crash when executed in
Vista. If your software is crashing in
Vista, you can fix it with a simple and quick solution. To run programs having compatibility issues in
Vista, turn on the
compatibility Mode. With
compatibility mode, you can run the program or game in the settings for which it was actually designed.

To run any program or game in
compatibility mode, right click on the executable file or the start menu item for this program and then select Properties. In the properties Window, select the
Compatibility tab.

Then give it a whirl!
