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.

graphical interface. The following procedure assumes that the
default Windows® XP view settings are used, rather than the Classic
Start Menu View.

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.

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
