 Older Program Compatibility CAD
CAD software, Legacy applications, Software conflicts
I have a 1997 CAD program that is fine with XP, but with my new computer and Vista, when I select "FILE", "SAVE", the program simply exits!!?? I have the compatibility set to Windows 97 SP. In all other respects, the program functions correctly. Someone advised, in answer to this previously, that I should run another program that essentially fakes-out Vista. I wrote down the name of the program, but lost it and the answer provided is no longer linked to my original inquiry.

You could create a "virtual machine" that runs an older version of the Windows OS on your Vista machine (I've got a Win2000 VM that I use to run Win95 and Win98 programs on my WinXP machine) Check here: <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=6d58729d-dfa8-40bf-afaf-20bcb7f01cd1"> For Microsoft option</a> Or here: <a href="http://www.vmware.com/technology/virtual-machine.html">For another option</a> as well as a detailed explination of VM's
