If you previously had Windows XP and you upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 in the SAME computer, then you may choose the option to run programs in Windows XP compatibility mode.
So if you bought or made a computer that started out with Windows 7, then compatibility mode is useless unless you download Windows XP to your windows 7 computer because I think Windows 7 can hold 2(i think I do not know).
This is the same with other windows such as windows 95, vista and all that. So unless you've upgraded to Windows 7 from Windows 95, then this method does not work.

sorry to flame but i believe u know nothing about computers at all ...
"This is the same with other windows such as windows 95, vista and all that. So unless you've upgraded to Windows 7 from Windows 95, then this method does not work"
they allow any WINDOWS computer to do this just in case any programs that are used to running in older version of windows can still run in new versions but still run in a certain compatibility mode
and if u still cant try this:
Run the Program Compatibility Wizard
1. Open the Program Compatibility Wizard by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Programs, and then clicking Use an older program with this version of Windows.
2. Follow the instructions in the wizard.
If you cannot install a program, insert the installation disc for the program and, using the wizard, browse to the program's setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. The wizard is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.
To change compatibility settings manually for a program, right-click the icon for the program, click Properties, and then click the Compatibility tab.
