Is there a compatibility mode for existing Windows programs running on Windows RT?
Is there a compatibility mode to run my existing on RT windows programs
There are two variants:
Windows 8 - this runs on processors traditional x 86 - x 64 for Intel and AMD, and the same apps that runs on Windows 7, Vista, and Windows XP.
Windows RT - built on the same basis as Windows 8, it works on a different processor called ARM and not running programs in Windows 7, Vista, or Windows XP. Also, comes with Microsoft Office 2013 while Windows 8 does not work. It only comes on the new devices, in contrast to Windows 8 you can buy a license for an existing computer.
A possible work around, you can connect to your remote programs on a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows 8:

- You have security software installed on the computer?
- Since when are you facing this problem?
- You did changes to the computer before this problem started?
Before solving the problem, I suggest to create a system manually, Restore Point so that in this case, a problem occurs when performing these steps, you can always perform a system restore.
Step 1
Uninstall Windows Mobile device under Windows Vista programs and features. Access the link below and follow the steps in the article to uninstall the program.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/uninstall-or-change-a-program
Step 2
Follow the steps below only once you have backed up the registry.
a. Click Start, in the search box of start, type regedit and press ENTER.
b. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.
c. in the navigation pane, locate the following registry subkey:
d. in the registry editor, navigate to the following location: HKEYCURRENTUSER > SOFTWARE > MICROSOFT > WINDOWS CE SERVICES > PARTNERS
e. check the keys referencing your mobile device and right-click on it and remove the keys.
Note: The problem may occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.
For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, follow the steps in the link below:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/322756
Step 3
Restart the computer and download the Windows Mobile device Center on your computer the link below and install it and check if it works fine without any errors.

Former installation problem program under Windows 7 64-bit
I installed the 64-bit Windows 7, but I need to run some old software, for which I have a CD. (Actually I think it is 16-bit. Well, I know it's a dinosaur, but this is my situation.) Naturally, setup.exe is also 16-bit (perhaps 32 bits, but I doubt it). There is a shortcut to setup.exe on my desk, by double-clicking on it, I get this message:
The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are using. Check your computer's system information to see if you need a x 86 (32 bit) or x 64 (64-bit) version of the program and then contact the software publisher.
He ran very well under Windows XP 32-bit, and I don't remember doing something special for 16 bit then; I know that much. (I'm sure I'd remember something special like that, if I had). Microsoft program compatibility issues resolution isn't going anywhere.
How do I enter a 32-bit emulator environment and double-click the shortcut (or setup.exe itself) from there?
Separated from the:
64 bit W7 run 16-bit programs.
32-bit W7 can run older 16-bit programs (a little) more

If you have an eligible version of W7, you may be able to get the program running in XPMode or install Virtual Box and if you run an old copy of XP or W7 32-bit (assuming it's free with a free license, etc.) in that.
Or maybe make a system dual-boot W732 (or XP) and W764.
If it is a DOS program rather than an old Windows program, it can run into something like DOSBOX

Is it possible to use an old dos program in Windows 7?
Is it possible to use an old dos program in Windows 7? Much needed.
Perhaps. This will depend on the DOS program and if you have a version 32 or 64 bit Win7. It is impossible to run some DOS programs natively in Win7 64-bit. If you have Win7 32 bit, you can try running in Compatibility Mode. See & Win7 support for more details. If it does not or you have Win7 64-bit, create a virtual machine running BACK instead with a virtualization software such as MS Virtual PC , VMware Workstation or VirtualBox from Sun . Also check out DOSBox it's maybe the best solution for you.
