Installing Bailey's Book House Using the Program Compatibility
Wizard
Most programs designed for an earlier version of the Windows®
operating system will install and run properly on Windows® XP. In
some instances, however, when attempting to install such a program,
various issues can occur. The information and procedure presented in
this section will help you to install a program (designed for
earlier versions of Windows®) by using the Program Compatibility
Wizard.
NOTE: Windows® XP allows different options for viewing
graphical interface. The following procedure assumes that the
default Windows® XP view settings are used, rather than the Classic
Start Menu View.
- Uninstall the program using the Add or Remove
Programs Control Panel (Steps a-c under Installing in Windows®
XP).
- After removing the program, or if the program
does not show in the Add or Remove Programs Control Panel,
continue with the next step.
- Verify the Minimum System Requirements of the
program that is to be installed. (This information will be needed
as the procedure below is completed.)
- Close programs and return to the desktop.
- Insert the program (or installation) CD into
the CD-ROM drive.
NOTE: If a program installation screen appears prompting
you to install the program, click the selection (i.e., No, Cancel
or Exit the Installation, etc.) that will cancel the installation,
and return to the desktop.
- Click Start on the Windows® taskbar.
- Click All Programs, choose Accessories and
select Program Compatibility Wizard. The icon appears as a
question mark (?). The Program Compatibility Wizard Welcome window
will open.
- Click Next.
- Click the "I want to use the program in the
CD-ROM drive" radio button.
- Click Next. A window presenting the different
Windows® Compatibility Modes will open.
- Click the radio button next to the desired
Compatibility Mode and click Next. (Consult the Minimum System
Requirements of the program that is to be installed [Step 1] for
system information.) The window that appears allows for the
selection of 256 Colors and/or 640 X 480 Pixel Screen Resolution.
NOTE: These display settings are not available options in
Windows® XP. They are only available when running a program in
Program Compatibility Mode. The only reason to choose either of
these settings is if you are experiencing difficulty installing or
running an older application designed to run in MS-DOS®, Windows®
3.1 or Windows® 95. If all options remain unchecked, then the
current Colors and Screen Resolution settings will not be altered.
By default, Windows® XP uses visual themes that may change the
appearance or behavior of other programs, especially those games
or educational programs that include intensive graphics and
animation. To prevent the visual themes from affecting these
programs, check Disable Visual Themes.
- Click Next. A window showing the heading "Test
Your Compatibility Settings" will appear. In addition, the
settings that you selected will appear.
- Verify that the settings are correct.
NOTE: If the settings are not correct, click the Back
button to return to the previous screen (or screens) and make the
necessary changes.
- With the correct settings selected and showing
in the "Test Your Compatibility Settings" window, click Next. The
program installation will begin.
- Follow the prompts to install the program.
- After the installation is complete, close the
program to return to the Program Compatibility Wizard.
NOTE: After the program is closed, the window with the "Did
the program work correctly?" question will reappear. The "Yes. Set
this program to always use these compatibility settings" will be
selected.
- If the program functioned properly using the
compatibility mode that was selected in Step 11 (above), click
Next-the Program Compatibility Data window will open-and continue
with Step 18.
NOTE: If the program did not function correctly, uninstall
the program (using the Add or Remove Programs Control Panel: Step
1) and repeat the above procedure, choosing different
compatibility settings.
- In the window that opens, select Yes or No and
click Next. The Completing the Program Compatibility Wizard window
will appear.
- Click Finish to close the window.
- Launch and use the program.
For questions regarding the Program Compatibility
Wizard or Windows® XP (or both), contact Microsoft® or go to
