See And Change What Program Compatibility Assistant Did?
Apr 8, 2011
After working fine for months my Comodo Firewall failed to start properly on one bootup. Without giving me the option to say do NOT make any changes--for each of the two dialog boxes, I said just close the program--the PCA popped up saying it had applied a compatibility fix! (In the past on older OS's under similar circumstances, I would simply reboot and things would be OK afterwards WITHOUT having my system changed.)
How do I see what change(s) were made and, hopefully, undo them so I can reboot my system and see if the trouble reoccurs?

I tried going to gpedit.msc and enabling Turn off Program Compatibility Assistant, didnt work.
Does anyone have a clue of how I can fix this?
Might actually have solved it myself, removed the service from msconfig and in services.msc, will check if it works.
Okay what i wanted was performance logs & alerts off , Sorry!

Disabling the Application Compatibility Assistant (the rights and wrongs)
Firstly see this for reference. I decided to disable the ACA so it would not arbitrarily automatically set some compatibility mode on the program again.
What would be the repercussions of doing this apart from the obvious inability of windows not to be able to run a program. Then again surely if a program cant run in the latest greatest version of windows, its time it was either updated or replaced?

One of our Microsoft Student Partner assignments was to create a video highlighting some of the features of Windows 7. I chose to do mine on using the Program Compatibility Wizard. I am not much of a video maker, but it explains the process pretty well.Other Windows 7 tips and tricks.

That's the message I get when I'm trying to install my Kaspersky anti-virus 2009 cd.
I used it on my windows vista 32bit without any issues. Now that I have windows 7 64 bit I'm getting that error message.
I checked Microsoft and kasperky's sites and they both say the program is compatible with windows 7 64 bit.
This also happens when I try to install BitDefender too.
Is there a way to make this work?

Why does the Windows 7 compatibility center list this program as compatible with Windows 7 when it CLEARLY does not work with Windows 7 without serious effort? Then, Microsoft doesn't even post workarounds for how to make it work with Windows 7! I know this game is really really old but it is a Microsoft game so they should put some effort into keeping it alive, particularly since it is better than AOE III.I have successfully installed AOEII: Age of Kings and the expansion (conqueror's) and updated to patch 1.0C or whatever it is called. When I go to run conqueror's the splash screen comes up saying that it is loading, I hear the CD spin, and then 3-4 seconds later the CD spins down and the splash screen just hangs there for eternity. The game never runs. I've tried running in Windows XP SP2 compatibility mode and as an administrator.

I have a program that can only run on 64-bit computers, and my 32-bit computer won't run it. Is there any way to convert the program to 32-bit?(there is no 32-bit version of this program). EDIT: I made a mistake in the title.

Just found an interesting program. Laplink has come up with a system that will move all of you Windows XP programs to your new Windows 7 install. I haven't used this yet. I did clean installs on all of my machines, but I have a friend that wants me to help him with trying this next week when he gets his copy of Windows 7. I told him I thought he might be better off with a clean install, but since we've already backed up his data for doing a clean install, he wants to try this to see how it works, knowing if its not satisfactory, we'll go ahead and wipe the drive and do a clean install.
I've looked through the program. You run it from your xp boot. Then run a custom install of windows7 but don't format the drive. Reinstall the program and run it and it will restore the programs to Windows7. Here is the link if anyone wants to check it out. I think it may be worth a try for less than $20.

Well this time I've got no screenshot but all I can say is this; the wireless support assistant for some odd reason is not loading, I know this because every time the computer is turned on and logged on a little square pops up, well anyways the thing is it doesn't pop up and no error message whatsoever. I know the problem isn't the built in wifi or the wifi button because it does change color on(blue) and off(orange).
To add more to this, since it seems like it's "loading" I click start then the whole explorer.exe freezes up, I try right clicking, task bar n etc. Yes I have tried system restore. The computer was fine an hour ago.. no updates or anything. The only way I can use the laptop is using safemode+network assistant since it doesn't load that wifi support thing. Since I've tried uninstalling hp wifi support assistant through safe mood, and it does not let me.

I wonder how I change the default program for dvd's. Now, when I double-click the dvd in "Computer", Windows Media Player is started. I have powerdvd installed. In file associations it shows that .vob is linked to powerdvd. Is there a way so that when I doubleklick the dvd I want to play powerdvd is started.
I don't want to delete windows media player (I haven't found out yet how you do it yet).

Can you use an upgrade disk to do an in-place upgrade using this sofware, or do you need a full system disk? I've gotten contradictory answers from LapLink support, so I need to hear from those of you who have actually used this app.

Any ideas on how to tweak the color of the menu background of Windows 7 applications?
To be specific - as I'm not sure of the correct name - I'm talking about the pale blue color which appears behind "File Edit View History " on Firefox (and other programs), below the title header. It is used as the unselected tab background too.
I don't like it!
I want this color to appear uniformly Grey, as in XP, and without the light slim horizontal embellishment cutting through the words.

I upgraded to windows 7 through a clean install. I just reinstalled itunes but when it prompts me to change itunes to the default program to use for audio files, I click yes and nothing happens. It prompts me every time I open itunes. I went to control panel -> programs -> default programs -> set default programs and itunes wasn't there. I then went to ->associate a file type or protocol with a program but when I tried to change the default program for .mp3 the following happened:
- I double click .mp3
- I click browse
- Secondary Drive -> Itunes -> Itunes.exe
- I arrive at the screen that popped up after I double clicked .mp3 and itunes isn't on the list.
I tried going to a random .mp3 file and changing its default program but the same thing happened. I googled what to do and I looked for a software that would change the default program for filetypes and I used both. They didn't work. I tried the following:
a. Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
b. Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionpoliciesExplorer
c. In the right side of the screen double click on "NoFileAssociate".
d. Change the value of "NoFileAssociate" from 1 to 0. If the value is not present, create a DWORD value and enter the valaue data as 0.
e. Exit Registry Editor and Restart the computer and check.
But I didn't seem to have the nofileassociate part in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionpoliciesExplorer
