Explain how to start the file in XP mode

[coyote]

Have not been able to find any posts regarding using XP. Is this some kind of joke? ...... Read posts below. Explains how to start the ML file in Windows XP mode, works every time. Thank you very much!

It is a bit hidden but right mouse click on the EXE and choose properties. Inside compatibility tab of properties, you should see a "Run this program in compatibility mode". Select it and choose Windows XP (Service Pack 3 if it is there) and close out the properties. Double click on the EXE and it should run in whatever compatibility mode you chose. Hope that helps.

There is also a true XP mode available for Windows 7. I would try the above first and then move on to the true XP mode if that doesn't work. It is more involved so the hopefully the above works for you.
