Windows 95 Compatability Mode (W2K)

[AkarKessel]

how do you enable windows 95/98 compatability mode under windows 2000/sp2? I can't seem to find the command line to run on the microsoft website.

Try right-clicking the shortcut for the program and Properties, there should be a Compatiblity tab on the screen that comes up.

I know that..but you have to run a command line from the run box to enable it

Here is an MSKB article:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22compatibility+mode+in+Windows+2000%22 (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q279792>http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q279792</a>.

There).

This one seemed easy to do:

"Compatibility-Mode in Windows 2000 Service Pack 2.
Windows 2000 provides an environment to run older programs, Win95 or NT4 programs, that experience issues with Windows 2000 in Compatibility-Mode. Compatibility-Mode more closely reflects the behavior of either Windows 95 or Windows NT4.
Compatibility-Mode is installed with Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 but is not enabled by default. To enable Compatibility-Mode:

Log on as Administrator.
Click Start, and then Run.
In the Open box type the following:
regsvr32 %systemroot%\apppatch\slayerui.dll
Click OK.
Now you can right-click on a shortcut, then on Properties and then on the Compatibility tab. (This tab will only appear if the Compatibility-Mode Interface has been properly enabled on the computer). Select either Windows 95 or Windows NT4 in the drop-down box.

NOTE: Be vary careful if you use Compatibility-Mode to bypass version warnings in Setup or installation programs. Some software are designed for specific operating systems and can have the potential to cause serious problems if installed."

Common theme through the ones I read indicate the requirement for Service Pack 2 on Win2000.
I already have it so didn't have any problem.
