Software compatibility problems

Hey

I installed win 7 ultimate 2 days ago. I started installing some of the programs i had i in my win xp but some of them just can´t be installed.

I found some of them for win 7 version but the ones i lke most i didn´t. So what do i have to do to install them if it´s possible.

I´ve tried compatibility and i have also tried the toubleshooter stuff but i din´t turn out good and the program crashed. one of them gave me the message "can´t create integer.." and "access violation"...

I heard about WrpMitigation, but i have to confess that i don´t know what it is and don´t how to use it.

Hi Rich. Thanks for replying.

I´ve checked the programs and found out that 3 of them are not in the list. i suppose that list is frequently updated is it?. Anyway, my programs are one or two years old. Now, does that mean that i can´t install them at all or i´m just messing things up when using the compatibility stuff?

Adding to Mitchell's comments, I've sometimes gotten results running setup as an admin. Further, right clicking on a program shortcut and choosing compat mode has met with success.

If not, and you can't obtain a replacement, there's always XP mode, which is a free download for Ultimate users.
