Is there anyone who is good at modifying windows registry who could tell me how to integrate DOSBOX into the compatibility mode selection so I can choose MS DOS from the drop down box?

View 2 Replies View RelatedOne of our computers went down at work and we had to replace it with a Windows 7 computer. The other ones on the network still have 2000 and XP. Now we're having issues with the network... and they're hard to pinpoint because sometimes they come and go.The plan is replace all the computers in the office with x64 Windows 7 machines.Some of the Designers still use 16 and 32-bit programs that won't even install on the new x64 PC (Which has the Home Premium Version)If we get Win 7 x74 Professional on all the computers on the network will they have trouble running these old apps through XP compatibility mode?

View 3 Replies View RelatedDoes XP mode, available in Windows 7 and Ultimate, help with older hardware compatibility? In other words, if I have a scanner that has no 64-bit drivers available, can I use XP mode to install XP drivers and use this older hardware?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to get Itunes or any IPOD software to work and recognize my IPOD. I even tried Windows XP SP2/SP3 compatibility and even though it says connected on my IPOD it will NOT show up in ITUNES.
I upgraded to the lastest RC 7100 and it kept the compatibility settings. When I run the program it pops up telling me to REMOVE the compatibility mode. When I RIGHT CLICK and goto properties/compatibility EVERYTHING is unchecked. I have tried running with admin priveledges, unchecking everything.. for some reason it won't remove the compatibility.
If i uninstall and RE-install it RE-applies the compatibility mode.
Not sure how to remove it...
One of the things you may discover is that not all of your older programs/games/drivers will work under 7, and their 7 compliant versions may not be availabe. In this case, you can try install and run them in Vista (or XP) compatible mode. To run a file in compatibility mode:
1. Right click on the executable file and click the "Properties" option
2. Select the "Compatibility tab"
3. From the drop-down menu, choose the operating system to run your file compatible with
4. Click OK
5. Run it "Compatibility" tab explained by Microsoft
If compatibility mode does not help, you can try force windows to use the standard device drivers:
1. In Device Manager, right-click your device (e.g. video adapter), and then click "Uninstall" to remove the device.
2. Restart your computer. After you log on, you receive a "New Hardware Found" dialog box with the device listed as the description and the "Found New Hardware Wizard" starts
3. Click "Next" to start the wizard
4. Click "search for suitable driver", and then click "Next"
5. Click to clear all of the search option check boxes, and then click "Next"
This way windows can install a standard driver for hardware like VGA, fax modem, printer, etc.How to force Windows to use a standard VGA compatible driver
I am using Outlook 2007 on Windows 7 RC1 (7100) with Franklin Covey PlanPLus for Outlook v.6 add-on. This add-ob really gets slow at times. I asked tehir support, they said windows 7 is not supported (ah, that was easy to forsee).
Before I try the thing on XP - I want to try running Outlook in XP Compatibility Mode. When I try this Outlook starts, but cannot find my profile (or any profiles whatsoever).
Ok, windows 7 keeps Outlook data differently from Win XP. But how can I create a profile for XP compatibility mode? The craziest thing is run a control panel which creates profiels in XP Compatibility mode, or reinstall outlook (or start it with some command-line switch to pretend that it runs the very first time and force it to craete a profile while running in XP Compatibility mode?)
Anybody? Any ideas?
Most web sites that I try to visit cause an error to display at the bottom of the screen - A problem displaying xxxx.com caused internet explorer to refresh the web page using compatibilty view.The problem is that even though it's using compatibility mode, it usually only displays the web site header info, there's no detail. This happens on most web sites. I have another pc with Windows 7 and IE9 and have no problems. I compared the settings and everything looks OK.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an NEC Superscript 870 that does not have Windows 7 drivers. Is it at all possible to run a printer in WXP compatibility mode as we can run programs in WXP compatibility mode??? Sure would not only save a few (very dear) dollars, but also prevent idiotic waste of a perfectly good asset (where is all of their "think green" money where their mouths are???). I am intentionally not upgrading one computer to Windows 7 just so I can copy docs over to the WXP computer and bring them up on it so I can print them.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have an application that runs on a network drive so users can access it from different locations. We have recently added a Windows 7 system, and know when the application is installed locally, it needs to run in XP Compatibility mode. However, I am looking for a way to set this compatibility mode on the network drive install for my Windows 7 user.So, is there a way to change the compatibility mode of an application running off a network drive? Or does the application have to be on the local harddrive?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm installing Seven on a WinXP machine and completed the install, but forgot to change the SATA setting in the bios from "compatibility mode" to AHCI. Now when I change it, windows gives me bluescreen on boot.I'm dumbfounded that Windows Seven startup repair can't fix a problem this simple, but it completely failed, wasn't even able to find a problem.I was thinking it might be easier to just reformat and begin the install over again, or startup in safemode and install the intel SATA drivers... assuming it will let me boot into safemode with AHCI enabled.ps. On the other computer (different thread), I'm going to wait till I have several hours of uninterrupted time, in case I need to begin over installing all the windows versions one at a time. I'll reply with any success/failure on that thread later in the week.
View 4 Replies View RelatedJust got a new Windows 7 machine. Installed Word 2002 and Excel from my Office XP disks with no problem whatsoever. Once in a while text in my document will be highlighted and start flashing, and closing the document or stopping the program in task manager is the only thing that stops it. It might have to do with erroneous commands coming from my Dragon Naturally Speaking program, but I'm not sure.
Question: Is it likely that if I ran Word 2002 in Windows XP compatibility mode it might run a little better? I have Home Premium Windows 7 so I don't have the Windows XP MODE, but it's my understanding that I can run things in a compatibility mode, or are those the same things? I'm OK with it how it is but wouldn't mind eliminating this glitch.

View 2 Replies View Relatedthe computer I am concerned with is running Windows 7 with IE8, Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. I am currently in Safe Mode with Networking without issue.The owner of the computer says that something happened earlier today while he was online that sounds like some false antivirus popup, but he's unsure. Here are the symptoms in normal mode. Every application, from moving through them to opening and closing them, runs exceptionally slow - one to three minutes to open, at least a minute to open internet pages. I noticed that, when in IE, as the pages are loading the IE page disappears and reappears. I am not very familiar with Windows 7 so I don't know if it is related. The computer seems to be getting slower as the day goes on. CPU usage is very high.So far, I have disabled many startup items that were unnecessary. I ran CCleaner and cleaned up. MBAM was run in both normal and safe mode, full scans, and found nothing. This is also posted in Viruses and Malware, but I'm unsure where it should live.
