One of our Microsoft Student Partner assignments was to create a video highlighting some of the features of Windows 7. I chose to do mine on using the Program Compatibility Wizard. I am not much of a video maker, but it explains the process pretty well.

Good little video, but you have to leave it there FOREVER since I put in my favorites. I know I'll forget and need the video someday.. :huh:

Thank you!!! I feel your pain. I spent countless days trying to get my photo shop to install. Then amazingly, windows 7 took it into its fold. I still need to upgrade, but it was a pain since windows 7 wouldn't read my files.

Hi BNDAZ,

Try clicking on "Program Compatibility Wizard" instead of "Other Windows 7 tips and tricks"

By clicking the Start button to start the image program compatibility wizard button, click Control Panel, click Programs, then click the Windows version using the old program.

I will say this: It works well. I have used it successfully on many occasions. The most recent being my tax return program. It wouldn't install before I told it to run in compatibility for Windows XP SP2. Things were great after that. :)
