Procedure for troubleshooting compatibility issues
Some users have encountered compatibility problems with some programs with the Windows operating system. You install some program, and then when you start it errors appear in the program, or the program may not work at all. The thing is that your version of the Windows operating system does not support this program. It is worth noting that this does not happen very often. Well, if this happened, then you can do the following. First of all, to solve the problem, you should use the built-in in Windows OS automatic tool for troubleshooting compatibility issues. To do this, you need to go to the control panel of your computer and here go to the menu "All Control Panel Elements". In this menu you need to find and go to the menu "Troubleshoot problems". After these steps you will be taken to a menu in which you will need to select a sub-item "Running programs designed for other versions of Windows".
Having done everything written above, you will launch an automatic search for problematic programs. Next, the system will offer you a list of programs, among which you will need to select the program with launch problems. The diagnostic will run and at the end you will be asked to select recommended options. Select them and run the program. Most often, this method helps solve the problem of program compatibility.
By the way, this method can be launched directly from the desktop. To do this, right-click on the program you are interested in and select "Fixing compatibility issues".
If automatic troubleshooting does not help you, then you can use the manual method. But here it is worth noting that this method does not work with programs that are automatically included in Windows (for example Paint). The first step is to find the program that is having compatibility problems. Then you need to go to the folder with this program.
Find it in the folder and right-click on the program icon. Here we select the item "<font><font>Materials</font></font>". Of all the tabs, we are interested in the " tabCompatibility". Open it. If you worked with the program in any previous version of Windows, then you will only need to indicate the system version. If you do not know which operating system the program worked on, then you can try changing other parameters.
These two effective ways to troubleshoot compatibility issues help in most cases. But if nothing works, then you should visit the Windows Compatibility Center website, which is located at http://www.microsoft.com/ru-ru/windows/compatibility/CompatCenter/Home. You can also visit the website of the program developer. On these sites you can download versions of the program that will be compatible with the version of your operating system. Most often, compatibility issues are resolved using standard Windows operating system tools. All you have to do is follow the instructions given here.
