When using my old PC, which has Ye Olde XP system, I made a lot of use of the compatibility mode which enabled me to play Ye Even Older W98 games in it.
Now that I have Windows 7, I can't seem to find this compatibility mode.

Can this be found in the Windows 7 system?

Yes. Right click on the exe file of the program/game you wish to run, then left click on Properties, and that opens up a new window where you can click on the Compatibility tab - then you can take it from there.

I guarantee it won't work! Check the Windows 7 and Game thread stickied to the top of the Glitches forum!
