How do I change compatibility mode in Windows 2000
« on: May 20, 2005, 10:23:29 AM »
I'm trying to install some educational software on a Windows 2000 machine for another teacher in my school.  The software is older and was designed for Win 95/98 machines and either won't run (1st program -- Millie & Bailey Kindergarten) or won't install (2nd program -- School House Rock).  I know in Windows XP that I can change the compatibility mode in the Properties dialog box, but that tab doesn't appear in Windows 2000.  Does anyone have any ideas on how I could get these programs to run in Windows 2000?

    Check here to learn how to enable compatability mode.
    I've never needed it but it looks easy enough.
