Installed the program gives the error "target system is not supported.

Hi, I had a program that works with windows 95,97,98, nt it is said. I can open ITC a folder but can't install it on my computer, I get an error msg 'target system os not supported' what should I do.

Hello bkfarmer,

You can try the Mode of compatibility as below:
If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.

Use the following steps:

(1) right click on the program

2) click Properties

3) click on the Compatibility tab

(4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows XP or other system that the program has been run successfully operating.

Check out the link here: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

If compatibility is not successful, then try and run the program compatibility problems:

1. open the troubleshooting program compatibility Troubleshooter by clicking the Start button.

Then click on 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 in the troubleshooting.

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.

I hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Marilyn
