Changes in Compatibility Mode will not be changed

I am trying to disable the Compatibility Mode for a game program, but no matter what I try I can't make the changes stay.  I believe that I am the administrator, but not sure.  Is it possible to tell if I am logged in as admin?  I am running XP with the mode which allows different members of the family log on using their journal to the name (cute image next to the login name).  Again, I am sure that I am the admin.

Disabling an Application fix

To disable an application fix

  1. Click Start , click all programs , and then click Application Compatibility Toolkit .

  2. Click Administration tool of compatibility and then under Microsoft Application database , click the program that you want to disable the application fixes for.

  3. In the pane right, right click on the file .exe program and then click disable entry , as shown in Figure 7 below.

    Not all programs can be run in compatibility for all versions.

  • Try to install Indiana Jones and the infernal Machine, Windows (8 / ME) compatibility mode does not

    I try to install Indian Jones and the Doomsday Machine on my computer.
    I tried using the compatibility mode for windows 98 / ME, but it does not work. When I run the program splash arrives, but when I click on install it closes then nothing happens. There are no errors.
    I am running Windows 7 64 bit.
    Also I install the original CD, and it has worked before in older computers (running Win 98 of course).
    Any help would be appreciated.

    The game should run fine under Win7 64 bit. The problem is that the installer is only 16 bit and is no longer supported in Windows. Just use a different Setup program. Try www.markusegger.at. I'm running the Doomsday Machine, Alliance Xwing, Xwing v's Tiefighter, and Grim fandango all on 64 bit Win7 all using custom Setup programs.

    I also used the original X-wing, Tie-fighter and fate of Atlantis via Dosbox.

  • Visioneer OneTouch 8700 USB Scanner Driver for Windows XP SP1 installed SP 2 compatibility mode - does not

    My machine is upgraded from XP SP2 to Windows 7. Support was interrupted by the manufacturer scanner after the pilot XP SP1.   Update of Windows in my system is always sur-installe updates automatically.   The scanner driver has been downloaded from the MFRS. ' site and installed in my computer Windows 7 in "compatibility mode for XP SP2. The scanner icon in my system tray.   To make a physical connection to my system, I get error that it can not be connected or cannot be configured.   I have two USB ports of work attached to the Mo (Chinese-"Weibu") and two USB PCI card is compatible with XP and earlier versions (as shown on the box, no mention of Windows 7).   I tried all these ports, always the scanner does not connect to my system.   In addition, my device manager under USB controllers, shows the exclamation marks in yellow triangles against two elements of the same name: "VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller.   I uninstalled these 2 elements and restarted my system several times, without success.   At each reboot, the yellow marks disappear but soon reappear.  But the scanner worked perfectly fine in my old XP SP 2 system before moving on to Windows 7 and before installing the USB PCI card.

    Is there a solution to this problem up the old USB devices and running in the Windows 7 environment?   (I have a very old IBM PC Camera too that works well in my old XP system, but not yet tried in the current system, even if the driver has been installed).

    If finally I am not able to use the scanner under Windows 7, I reluctantly get Windows XP reinstalled on another drive and boot into it just to be able to use the scanner which is functioning perfectly.

    I am a person of 78 years and enjoy using and experimenting with my PC, which has become an addiction for me.

    Thank you.

    You can buy a copy of XP that would probably cost more to replace the scanner and now is not the right time to install XP anyway.

    Your webcam is a lost cause. Compatibility mode has been designed to work for older programs, and Microsoft does not recommend to use it to install the device drivers. I have no idea why some here suggest a possibility...

    "Sleep" mode has stopped working recently.  The PC won't standby.  This is not a case where he falls asleep and wakes up then in place.  I confirmed this by running 'powercfg-lastwake' cmd; the answer is ' Wake history Count – 0.  I've seen other posts and have checked the BIOS (S3 is enabled) and examined for tasks scheduled with "wake the computer to run this task"...

  • The Windows 7 XP Mode will not be loaded an XP application

  • Set to start in safe mode, will not light

    My computer was working normally, no problem, no virus. I was troubleshooting a wireless connection problem and decided to try the safe mode, boot in safe mode. I tried to restart my computer in SafeMode with F8, but this does not work, it's just booted normally. Then I put manually the configuration to restart in safe mode (system configuration > boot > safe mode). After the attempt to restart the computer, it starts, but never turned on, nothing appears on the monitor. I tried several times, nothing. I also checked the material, that is not the issue. Powers of computer, tries to start, but nothing ever appears on screen.

    Computer running Windows 7 Pro

    No idea what could cause this, or how to solve without a clean installation?

    Try a system repair disc to start.  If you have not done one for you, you can do it on another Windows 7 computer as long as it matches the number of bits of yours (32 vs 64)

    You need a blank CD recordable.  Start, all programs, Maintenance, on the other PC.

    Insert the CD into your computer and start your PC, you must make sure that the PC actually uses the CD.  Which may require you to get a boot menu to select the CD player to do the marketing.  There's a key (on a Dell computer it's F12) you need to press when your computer starts to prepare and presents the start menu.  It varies depending on the brand of the PC.  You should see on your start screen briefly as he begins to launch.

    Once you have started on this CD, it will offer alternatives to repair the computer.  The one to which you probably need is to restore to an earlier date.  It does no data, only programs.

  • Windows XP with Virtual PC mode will not be installed / two problems

    Hello!
    I have Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) and I want to follow the instructions here:

    https://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Virtual-PC/Download.aspx?runGenuineCheck=true&system=5&lang=4&ButtonClicked=winXpMode

    to install and run Virtual PC so I can see if some legacy XP software I have will work.

    FYI, I use a Lenovo W520 laptop with an i7 to 2.4 ghz with 8 GB of RAM.

    I followed step 1/2 and downloaded the file of 500 MB for Windows XP Mode.  I installed it.

    : #1 there is a note at the bottom of the page that says "once you have installed Windows XP Mode, click the Windows 7 start button, then select all programs > Windows Virtual PC > Windows XP Mode to begin the installation." For more information about how to configure Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode, see "Running Windows XP Mode with Windows Virtual PC" on page Support and videos . "

    I am looking at the view of all programs and there is absolutely nothing that says "Windows Virtual PC" or "Windows XP Mode".  I look at the programs and features in the control panel and indeed, Windows XP mode is installed (and taking up 1.13 GB).  I have uninstall and re-download the 500 MB file and reinstall it.  It is not always appear in the sight of all programs, does not add an icon to my bar quick launch or desktop or anything that suggests a way to start.  It is located in C:\Program Files\Windows XP Mode, but there is no executable file it.

    Problem #2: Step 3 says "Download Windows Virtual PC".  When I click on this button, the download starts, but never works (I tried several times, notably after a clean reboot, with nothing other than the execution of Internet Explorer); I get an error window that says:

    Windows Update Standalone install

    Setup has encountered an error: 0 x 80070422

    The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices is associated to him.

    What's not?

    Thank you.

    Notes; After the announcement of this issue, some Associates questions skipped upward and I read through them.  Points of a post on this forum-> http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/8247-windows-xp-mode-install-setup.html , which suggests that the #2 problem is my problem because I followed along until ste #5-E and then I get the error message 0 x 80070422.
