Older Windows programs

Is there way or patches that allow older Windows 95 and 98 programs run on Windows XP? When my children were little I bought software that ran in Windows 98. Now that I have grandchildren, I see that this software works only with Windows 98. This software is cannot be found for Windows XP. Y at - it fixes or such to get this software to work with Windows XP?

There are no patches, the old program can install, but no guarantees - don't see compatibility mode in win help

  • How to connect to a windows OS to IOS and run a windows program?

    Hi all

    I would like to know if possible to run a windows program (i.e. DIR or WINVER) on a machine windows on the network via a computer of IOS command line is connected to the same network. Basically, I have 2 computers in a network, a MAC OS and the other is WINDOWS. MAC OS I want to run a command of windows inside the windows machine.

    For example, via the terminal in my mac I want to connect on the windows machine, and run any windows program I have in the windows machine.

    I know it's possible to do on linux via the command line WMI Windows Management Instrumentation command-line.

    Do we have something similar to the WMI for IOS command line?

    Rodrigo.

    I'm confused. You mention a PC (Windows OS), Mac OS (Apple computer) and iOS (Apple iPod touch, iPhone and iPad operating system).

    You can get apps that allows a computer iOS to use a computer mac or Windows computer such as LogMeIn or GoToMyPC.

    Yu can also get the app that allows you to use your Mac to access a PC.

  • Receive an error message "Windows cannot find"C:\Windows\Program Mozilla Firefox Firefox\firefox.exe"." when launch firefox without the inability to use

    Hello!

    It's happened since I got a virus a months ago who was preventing the computer to start. She came back from the repair shop and it begins again now. But after a few hours of using Firefox, this message pop up at random:
    "Windows cannot find"C:\Windows\Program Mozilla Firefox Firefox\firefox.exe". Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. »
    Example: http://www.risingroad.com/foxhound/faq/images/Windows%20cannot%20find%20firefox.jpg

    and Firefox still work after this message appears. I already uninstalled and installed new Firefox completely, and the message still appears upward. What this mean and is it harmful to the computer?

    I'm on Windows 8

    I had the pop up ads sensation can cause the problem and talked about it to the engineer in computer science from my father. It installs Malewarebytes and there was indeed still a maleware by repair men left. The difference was, Chrome to view the full announcement page while Firefox may have in maintaining security to block this kind of page, and the result was the error message. (I didn't know that because it happened to me on my computers to the precedents and even Firefox used to show me the ad then) Thank you for warning me.

  • I can't uninstall Thunderbird to my Windows programs "Uninstall list"; Why does not uninstall and be removed from this list?

    Very frustrating... under windows ' programs/uninstall a program "list, Mozilla Thunderbird is still listed AFTER that I have removed completely (I thought) from my computer. I clicked on 'uninstall' several times and nothing happens. I can't take the fact that Mozilla has set it up so that it can apparently be deleted from this list... What is everything? I tried to research the problem, even by using your Web site without success. All what I want to do is get out of my list to uninstall/change. I used this program AND will not use it. I don't want this program on my computer/list period. I would appreciate your help.

    It is a problem with the management of Windows applications. Mozilla does nothing to interfere with the installation/uninstallation process.

    You could re - install Thunderbird so re-synchronization of the list of applications, then uninstall again, or you could use a utility to remove from the list.

    A search of thunderbird.exe will confirm whether or not it was really deleted, but you may need to disable all the fool-proofing that implement Microsoft for not to see the true state of the file system; Configure to display hidden files and the extensions of file to start.

    Thunderbird is almost independent. You are free to delete manually the folder that the application resides in if Windows fails to uninstall it for you, but that will not solve the incorrect appearance of thunderbird in the list of installed applications.

  • Why did I surf canyon when it does not appear in my firefox extensions or windows programs

    I have extension surf canyon. I do not install. It's not in my firefox extensions or in my windows programs. It interferes with my navigation and slows down my pc. How can I get rid of him?

    See this: http://malwaretips.com/blogs/surf-canyon-removal/

    "Surf Canyon got on your computer after you install a freeware software (record video/streaming, download managers or PDF creators) who had delivered in their installation this browser hijacker. This browser hijacker is also included in the Installer Custom on many download sites (examples: CNET, Brothersoft or Softonic), so if you have downloaded software from these sites, the chances are that Fast Search by Surf Canyon has been installed during the software installation process. »

  • Need to run that Windows programs only on MacBook Pro

    I bought a MacBook Pro equipped last week.  I want to run Forever Scrapbook historian and Forever Scrapbook Panstoria but I do thing of the partition, because they are windows programs and do not work on my Mac.  I was wondering if I could just buy a USB attachment (pre-installed licensed Windows 10 Meegopad T02 Mini PC Quad Core Z3735F 1.33 GHz 2 GB RAM 32 GB HDMI ROM) and use instead while I mainly use the Mac as a monitor for the usb setting.  I don't want to not spend the extra $ 200 or so to buy if he's not going to work.  Did anyone see any problems?  Also I'm not sure if I would have it then install programs on another usb/sd card or how to on this subject.  What would be the best method that I just spent thousands on this laptop (I love it but I try to find how to use these specific programmes).

    No, the MacBook Pro cannot act as a monitor.

    Hello

    ·         Are which Windows programs you referring?

    ·         Were you able to remove the virus from the computer?

    ·         What anti-virus program do you use?

    Please provide us with more information about the programs that are the source of the problems. Meanwhile, I also suggest you to download and run the latest Microsoft security on your computer Scanner and check if that helps:

    Note: the data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means there is a risk of data loss.
