Forced in Windows 7 Compatibility Mode

• Windows 7 Compatibility Mode behavior

  I am reproducing this issue I posted earlier, at superuser.com without getting any response. I need to know the answer to this question; more and more of my users have this problem.

  http://superuser.com/questions/743064/Windows-7s-compatibility-mode-behavior

  Review the settings of Mode of Application compatibility for a typical Windows program:

  

  The question is: what exactly will happen to the environment (in particular, access to C:\ProgramData) provided by Windows in the program where the only change is to set properties for compatibility with WinXP SP3, as follows:

  

  The background:

  An application that has been updated during the golden age of Windows XP gives us some problems now. Specifically, it is optimized to use a .NET library to write files in a subdirectory in the %ALLUSERSPROFILE% area (on Windows 7, this is generally C:\ProgramData ) which are essential to the license of the application. The files themselves are plain text files.

  These text files are created and written to using a much newer and separate program .NET that works without problems, write the files to the right place. But then the old program does not read the files correctly; We have not been able to determine exactly what is happening.

  Many users find that setting compatibility mode allows the system to function properly. I need to better understand that much.

  This issue is beyond the scope of this site and must be placed on Technet or MSDN

• How do reset you the program back to Windows 7 compatibility mode?

  I tried to get a program runs on Windows 7, but it would freeze upwards.  Then I changed a setting in the program compatibility, try a Windows XP mode and a mode of Windows Vista (without success).  How to get out the compatibility settings and just go back to Windows 7?  Thank you.

  Hi dartglass01

• What exactly happens when you run a program in Windows XP compatibility mode? Which actually change?

  I'm trying to understand this Compatibility Mode XP actually changes or turns on or off in Windows 7. Is there a list of what it actually does?

  Hi Timmay,

  Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community forum.

  According to the description above, it seems you want to learn about program compatibility mode.

  Program compatibility is a mode in Windows that allows you to run programs written for earlier versions of Windows. Most programs written for Windows Vista are also running Windows 7, but some older programs might run poorly or not at all.

  What changes does: It depends on the problem, but any changes made are related to how Windows runs the program. No changes are made to the program itself. For example, the program compatibility Assistant can resolve conflicts with user account control, a security feature in Windows that can help make your computer safer. Or, it can run the program in a mode that simulates earlier versions of Windows. The changes that made the program compatibility Wizard are automatically, so you don't need to make them.

• Win7 PRO update - to get the Windows XP Compatibility Mode = No. WORKY!

  I bought a fairly expensive system, it comes w / no NEED Win7 HOME edition-paid the cost of upgrade ridiculous just so that I could have programs Windows XP compatibility because NONE of the programs my WinXP Pro embarks on this edition of Crapola from windoze to find that you have to DOWNLOAD.

  Thus, after 6 DOWNLOADS of the Retarded _ "prove it is a true copy of Windoze ' message - he FINALLY admits that ' Yes, I really waste my money on this _ rather than buy a REAL operating system! and sends me to the download link (FINALLY).

  So, I try to download this _ any way & it starts to download, 4 HOURS later I get:

  C:\Downloads\WindowsXPMode_en-US.exe could not be saved because the source file could not be read.

  Try again later or contact the server administrator.

  different 3 times, I received this after 17 HOURS TOTAL of download.

  So I send a message to 'Technical Support' where I said that I have to wait 24 hours for a bloody response. NICE. REALLY GOOD.

  Why the _ is not only included on the stupid Win 7 DISC? As you know GD although normal programs will not work win 7! ???

  Someone at - it a number of telephone CONTACT for WINDOZE? I am so sick of dressing - I have a business to run and it gets OLD very fast.

• I'm trying to run a game in windows 95 compatibility mode, but the compatibility under Properties tab disappeared.

  I am running windows 7 Professional. It is not the version of upgrade.

  Hi Tippo_89,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

  (1) have you been able to use the compatibility feature earlier?

  Try the steps below and see if you can run the program.

  To run the troubleshooting program compatibility Troubleshooter

  (1) open the resolution of the problems of compatibility of programs by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type troubleshooting, and then click Troubleshooting. Under programs, click on run programs for previous versions of Windows.

  (2) follow the instructions contained in the resolution of the problems.

  If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation disc for the program and, using the Troubleshoot utility, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. This utility is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.

• Currently, I am running Windows 7 but to install a range more network adapter Linksys which is only compatible with Windows XP. Can I use the compatibility mode and install through XP?

  You can understand that I want to change my office from Wired to Wireless and really to have the adapter installed in the back of my Office Wireless (with dual band antennas).  The Linksys device is not yet recognized because I'm running Windows 7 while trying to install the drivers which are only Windows XP and previous versions. Is it possible to USE the Windows 7 compatibility mode > XP and still have a stable system when I'm not using the adapter. ?  Really appreciate the help of someone who can advise me.

  Thank you all very much,

  Hi Roger

  The Compatibility Mode works with hardware or software drivers. This mode is less reliable when installing the hardware drivers that it is during the installation of software.

  If Compatibility Mode fails, your only option would be to check with the support of Linksys.

• Cannot change the Compatibility Mode

  I'm trying to run an application on a new Windows 7 PC.  It works fine with no special settings on a Windows 7 PC identical (same model number, same OS, same OS updates).  But on the second machine Windows does not allow me to change the compatibility mode to Windows 7.  He insists on locking myself in other compatibility modes and greys and then the selection to return to Windows 7.  Worse, whenever I run the program I have to answer the nattering question "do you want the next request to make changes to this computer?  -Yes!  No matter what!  just, let me alone and run the application!

  (1) how do stop this Moguls and force Windows 7 leaves me alone and run the application?

  (2) how set the compatibility mode to Windows 7 (or eliminate the comaptibility altogther mode) for this application?

  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app several times with no luck.

  Yes, lowering the UAC slider leaves your pc more reports unprotected, which was why I mentioned only use it as an experienced user (.. .knowing your way around your pc...)

  This problem only occurs with the .exe in question btw?

  You can still work around a problem in the registry. I found this (below) on several sites. Before you begin, I STRONGLY suggest that you make a backup of the registry . How? Type regedit in the search bar in the startmenu, then press on enter, confirm the UAC, click file-> export, choose a file name and choose where you want to save the exported .reg file, select (dot) all under Export range option, type a name for the .reg file and click on the Save button.
  ! The registry is not a place for fun if you know exactly what you are doing. You will have to pay dearly if something goes wrong!
  You can access the registry by typing regedit in the search bar in Startmenu, but you probably already know.
  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

  All settings in the Compatibility tab can be set through the registry

  -Open REGEDIT
  -goto "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers".
  -create a new string value
  -name or rename the full path asked for example "C:\Program Explorer\iexplore.exe may.
  -Right click on the new channel and select Edit
  -type RUNASADMIN in line with value data; This will rank the program to run as administrator.
  This allows you to bypass the graphical mode of editing the parameters. Instead, you change the registry settings. And of course, you can ignore the advances
  The shortcut properties. Better start the program by default
  Administrator mode! : o ;)

  I used it for Internet Explorer (iexplore.exe) which is part of the
  System.

  A shortcut on the desktop can be configured to run as administrative mode.
  But, if I run the IE7 browser, leave a link URL or Favorite, that this doesn't
  work and Windows Vista it will run in User Mode... UNLESS I CHANGED
  THESE OPTIONS WITH REGEDIT. To start regedit click on Start Menu, then
  "Run...". "type REGEDIT. EXE or REGEDIT.

  Other Options and examples .
  Always in the key called a HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows
  NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers you can add more variables:

  RUNASADMIN: I just said, run as administrator of the program
  : rolleyes:;
  256COLOR: run the program in 256 colors;
  640 x 480: Add this value to run a game or another application in a lower
  RES;
  DISABLETHEMES: to disable visual themes Windows 4 adds that the app;
  DISABLEDWM: Disabled Desktop Composition;
  HIGHDPIAWARE: Disable the display timing of ppp settings high;

  ELEVATECREATEPROCESS: I don't know, unknown function. : confused:

  VALUES of COMPATIBILITY (not use'em together, only by app!):
  Win95: Add the Windows 95 compatibility mode;
  Win98: Add Windows Me or 98 compatibility mode;
  NT4SP5: Mode NT 4.0 Service Pack 5 Com;
  Win2000: Tap to add compatibility mode Windows 2 K;
  WINXPSP2: Windows XP Service Pack 2 Compatibility Mode;
  WINSRV03SP1: Windows Server 2003 SP 1 com mode

  Windows also creates these chains of the option when you change the compatibility
  Settings in the properties of the selected executable (graphics mode is not
  Regedit mode).

• Windows 95 compatibility

  Windows 7 has a Windows 95 compatibility mode for older games?

  Lance68,

  Yes, it's done, but it is not 100% guaranteed to work correctly. This works for some programs, but not for all.

  Right-click of your program, properties tab check "Run in compatibility mode" and W95 is top of the list. There are also some specific options like use res 640 x 480 or 256 colors etc.

  But nothing is certain in what concerns if the program is running or not.
