Create a disc of the Encyclopedia Britannica, which is designed for up to Windows XP with Vista work. Is this possible?

Hi Silas Martin,

I have not used Britannica for many years now, but I suppose there is a program of "installation"? If so, try compatibility mode.

1 / locate the setup.exe (or install file) for the program of Britannica

2 / right click on the file setup.exe or install.exe, and in the drop-down menu, select Properties.

3 / in the Properties window, click the Compatibility tab

4 / on the Compatibility tab place a 'TICK' in the box beside the box "run this program in compatibility mode for", then select the operating system Windows XP (Service Pack 3). This should automatically appear in the box under the run this program in compatibility mode for option. If Windows XP is not visible, then click on the arrow down to see a selection of the available operating system options.

5 / click OK

6 / the installation program will now begin to install the program in compatibility mode for Windows XP

7 / once done, you should be able to run the program as if you were using Windows XP
