• Installation of old game by using the program compatibility Wizard

  First of all, I don't know anything about computers, and all I know I Googled it, so stupid to speak for me.

  I have a windows vista 64 computer and recently I ordered online (Direct2Drive.com) and downloaded the game Roller Coaster Tycoon 2. I tried to play it and received a pop up saying that the program has stopped working properly. Googling my questions and read the forums that I discovered that I had to make adjustments or what on the program compatibility Wizard, but when I opened and followed the steps to get there... the game is not yet appear in search of file Assistant. The only option it gives me is to uninstall the game and is not really what I'm going...

  Basically, I'm looking for an answer that gives me instructions step by step on how to get this program installed and ready to play!

  Thanks for any help!

  The icon that launches the game, right click that.
  Choose Properties from the menu that appears
  Click compatibility
  Click on "run this program in compatibility mode for" and choose Windows XP (SP2) or Windows 98.
  Click OK and try to run it again.

• Program Compatibility Wizard

  Go to "this program might not have installed correctly" the program compatibility Assistant.  What should I do if I don't want the program to load at all?  I don't know even what it is, but all the other days, I get the error message.  It's from an unknown source, the program name is not indicated, and I don't want to install something that I don't know what it is.

  Type disk cleanup in start it > search programs & text files, and then double click the shortcut resulting.

  When it starts to select C: drive to clean - some default options will be selected

• Cannot turn off Program Compatibility Assistant

  I hope someone can provide me with a way to disable the program compatibility Wizard. I had this same problem in the Beta, but of course during the beta test I used Windows 7 Ultimate. First off I would like to start by pointing out that I do run with Windows 7 Home Premium.

  That said, I know that this means that the most common solution, using Local Group Policy Editor to disable the program compatibility Wizard won't work, as the Home Premium does not gpedit.msc.

  Now, this is the part confusing, at least to me. I found an alternative solution specifically designed to fill this gap. I was directed to the access to Servicesand localization Program Compatibility Assistant Service, stop the service and then turn it off (via the properties for this service). I did exactly that. He is arrested and the Startup Type is "off". I even rebooted.

  Now here's the part that confuses me... it always comes back. How can he do that when I have the service stopped? This is another aspect of the security of Windows 7 I am not aware of this must be disabled?

  As a note, when I tried to install the software in question, I chose "Run as Administrator", just in case, and who didn't yet have any advantage. If anyone knows what I have to do, including instructions on changing my recording, let me know. Thank you.

  Hi Mobius187,

  
  I'm afraid to say that in Windows 7 Home Edition Premium, it is not possible to disable this feature.
  The only way to turn it off is by using the Group Policy Editor.

• "Program compatibility assistant" halts open Soundbooth

  When you open the Soundbooth splash screen appear normally for a few seconds of Soundbooth. Then a "Program Compatibility Wizard" covers the Soundbooth splash screen and warns against the "missing codec" and if I select the download which brings me to the www.totalcodec.com site that wants Larry me to install what is called the missing codecs. Notice that I am on XP and there is no "Program Compatibility Wizard" (only for Vista, Windows 7). Note wrong spelled "compatibility."

  I ran a full scan with malwarebytes and McAfee and the two report I own of any virus or malware. I see no problem with other products of CS4 web premium.

  I did a complete clean installation of Soundbooth CS4 which did not help.  Here you can see "Assistant to the program compatibility" covering start of Soundbooth and warning "missing codecs.  You can also see in the background malwarebytesthat I used to check for malware.

  Any suggestions gratefully appreciated!

  

  The wire to 407.selon html http://www.computing.net/answers/security/this-program-requires-a-missing-windows-codec/30 is originally by some kind of virus or Trojan.  According to the original author, the problem disappeared after scanning with StopZilla http://www.stopzilla.com/

  Isadore salvation,

  Welcome to the Microsoft community!

  You cannot use Picasa get message that Internet Explorer can not open the program.

  The question is perhaps because of settings or firewall.

  I suggest you to refer to the procedure described in the site:

  http://Cat.Microsoft.com/ticket.aspx?ID=908433&threadintid=908433&forumid=5&ThreadId=0c5a0295-efd9-4f34-9ED5-98d4374e30bf

  Important note: firewall can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your firewall. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your firewall software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

• cannot open programs by right click and run as administrator

  had a virus earlier today, I think it was the security of windows one... anyway I got rid of it with malwarebytes and restarted my computer. now, for some reason, I can't run programs without going through a right-click and run as an administrator.
  When I try to run normally (left-click) I get this window "open with."
  I'm not very good with technical terms, but I tried several fixes that have failed

  When I right click, open properties, then open the tab compatibility... "run this program as Administrator" button is grayed out so I can't do anything with that.

  turning UAC enabled or disabled dosent seem to do anything.

  Some programs are completely inaccessible, (like microsoft word)

  I also watched regedit but as didemt not a lot of sense to me at all. If anyone could break how to fix this step by step before reinstalling the DVD (which I did not), you will be my best friend
