Compatibility Mode

Hello R3nam3, and welcome to Seven Forums. :)

You could use a .bat file to run the commands below to make the registry changes like in OPTION THREE instead.

For example:

Code:

REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers" /V Full-path-to-.exe-file /T REG_SZ /D CompatibilityMode /F
 
REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers" /V Full-path-to-.exe-file /T REG_SZ /D CompatibilityMode /F

Substitute Full-path-to-.exe-file in the commands above with the actual full path to the .exe file of the program.

Substitute CompatibilityMode in the commands above with what compatibility mode data value you want to use on the program.

Thank you !

I also find this...

"However the application compatibily flags are stored in the registry (user or system part):

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers

Therefore you can use the standard command line registry editor for creating the required entry:

reg.exe Add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers" /v "C:\Program Files\MyApp\Test.exe" /d "WINXPSP3"

I will try bouth and i will replay...

UPDATE

I used just this and its worked perfectly.

reg.exe Add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers" /v "C:\Program Files\MyApp\Test.exe" /d "WINXPSP3"

Hello Mike, and welcome to Seven Forums. :)

That's correct, you would just need to create the keys if you do not already have them.

Hello Shaun, and welcome to Seven Forums. :)

They should all be listed at the two registry locations in OPTION THREE.

You're most welcome. :)

Hello jraju, :)

I'm not sure why either unless the program itself placed it there when installing it.
