So, let’s begin. 

Go to your application’s properties.

Open the tab Compatibility and select the compatibility mode with the required version of the operating system.

You can additionally change the settings so that you can start even very old programs created for very early versions of the Windows operating system.

Click on Apply for the changes to take effect. 


Now here is the second method. 

It will be useful if there is no Compatibility tab. We will not go on to discuss why it can happen, but will just see how compatibility mode can be adjusted in such situation. 

Now.

Enter in the search field "Run programs made for previous versions of Windows" and start it.

Click Next.

Review the suggested list of applications or choose one, checking the line "Not Listed." In our case, the necessary application is here.

Click Next.

If you want to set compatibility mode manually, select "Troubleshoot program."

Check the box "The program worked in earlier versions of Windows but won’t install or run now."

Select the version of Windows that you want your application to be compatible with.

Click  "Test the program."

The application has started in compatibility mode.

Close the application.

Click Next.

Select “Yes, save these settings for this program” so that this application should start with such compatibility settings by default and you will not have to go through all these steps every time.

That is all for today. Thank you for your attention. Good-bye.
