• 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.

• 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.

  Pleasant for people who must pay for their bandwidth because they have satellite systems because * NEWSFLASH to MICROSOFT * broadband high speed is not available nationwide!

  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.

  Hi André,.

  Please keep us updated.

  Unfortunately, the center of compatibility Windows has actually retired. To find out if any program that works with Windows 10 or not, you can check with the developer to program on the compatibility of its operating system. In addition, when you migrate to Windows 10 from a previous version of Windows, you are informed about programs that may not work with Windows 10. However, you can try to install these programs in compatibility mode and check.

  Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

  Microsoft are terrible to change sites around and moving links, it seems to happen a lot.

  Maybe the W7 Compatibility Center has closed now? but this link seems to give some hope - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/help/compatibility#T1=softwarecompat to what you click on the 'Windows 7 ' compatibility Center link, which of course is not going to go.

• 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

• Problems installing of printer in the Windows XP compatibility box

  I am trying to use my printer Canon MX870 Windows XP compatibility mode. In the compatibility window is my computer has no printer, and apparently no USB ports don't either.

  When I try to print from a program that is running in compatibility mode, I get an error box that says: no printer driver is installed.

  I found an MS article that says I should choose the Windows XP desktop tools > parameters command and check the printer in the menu of the integration features. I tried and found that printer is already checked.

  I tried to install a separate printer driver compatibility window and had no luck there either. The "Add a printer" Wizard has informed me that there is no plug-and-play printer connected to the computer. When I tried to install the printer manually, I found that none of my USB ports have been listed as locations.

  My computer has eight USB ports, an RS-232 port and a parallel port. The Wizard indicates that it is three parallel ports, 4 serial ports and seven ports 'TS' appointed TS001, TS002, etc., of which the last is "inactive".

  I don't know how to make the link between these imaginary ports of Windows XP for real hardware in my computer. (If I did, I would still need to know which one to use. I know, but Windows is supposed to automatically allocate the names of devices on the USB ports that is appropriate, in view of these problems, I am not prepared to assume that it will be).

  How can I handle this? All this seems to be a mess.

  Hello

  
  To work around the problem, try the following steps if you have this driver on the XP Mode desktop file.

  a. click Start, click Control Panel , and search for printers , and then double-click Printers.
  b. now, click Add Printer.
  c. Select Add a local printer and click create a new port.
  d. Select Local Port and click Next.
  e. type in "[\\computer name\printer name]"(sans les guillemets) for the Port name and click OK. ""
  f. follow the instructions to complete the installation. During the installation, when you are prompted to choose a good driver; Click the "disk".
  g. navigate to the driver file you have on the desktop XP mode, then click OK. Now, check if the printer is correctly installed.

  You can even provide the driver through a disk file if you do not have internet access to download the file via the XP mode.

  Alternatively, you can check the link for more information below:

• Pavilion 1301tx g6: 10 windows upgrade compatibility

  First of all, I really want to try the new windows 10. I use windows 7 Professional for hp pavilion 1301tx g6 and it's grahics driver amd hd 7450 m. My question is if I upgrade my laptop for windows 10, will be this driver it is necessary for the new operating system? Let me rephrase the question, can I get the graphics driver to my laptop for windows 10? Ireally wantto besure as to its compatibility. With my other laptop sony vaio, I tried to install the new os and I get BSD. They (CC) said the graphics driver is not compatible, but when I click on the logo of small windows on the bar he spots says your pc is compatible. This time I really want to be sure as to its compatibility. Please help me in this matter.

  @SBKH: Unfortunately, there is no HP Win10 driver for your device. HP is not no matter what timetable indicating when, or IF, they will produce drivers for older machines.
  
  You can try to use Windows updates to find the drivers from Microsoft deposits for your device: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03330139
  
  If that does not do anything, you should read this another link: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-dv6-6000-Entertainment-Notebook-PC-series/5048664/model/5077076/document/c04758308/
  
  If Windows Update doesn't give new drivers, you can pursue alternative which are described in the linked Microsoft Windows Insider community thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/wiki/insider_wintp-insider_devices/how-to-install-and-update-drivers-in-windows-10/a97bbbd1-9973-4d66-9a5b-291300006293
  
  If you then run into trouble, install the drivers through Windows Update, you can try to use of Microsoft Windows Update Troubleshooter: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/open-the-windows-update-troubleshooter

  Also... If you want to test the upgrade, then before doing this, consider using a third-party application Imaging/restoration as Macrium Reflect to image your machine off so that you can easily restore it if something does not work.  And don't count on the Win10 GoBack function back on Win7, it is not reliable and can leave your computer in a damaged state.
  
  Macrium reflect (MR) provides a FREE version that can be used to image and restore partitions or drives together.
  
  What I recommend is the following:
  (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
  (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
  (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key
  
  NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.

  Good luck
