How Do You Use Windows XP Vista Backup Compatibility?

Windows XP and Vista are both equipped with a backup compatibility mode that will allow you to use your older legacy software with the latest versions of Windows without experiencing any issues like system failures, crashes or freezing. Enabling this backup compatibility mode needs be done for each and every program that you want to use it for. Fortunately, the process is extremely simple to do, taking less than five minutes at most. Press the “Start” menu and place your mouse over the “All Programs” list to display a list of the software installed on the machine. Scroll through the list until you find the item for which you want to employ the Windows Backup Compatibility mode. Highlight the executable file with your mouse (the file that you would click to start the program) and right-click on it, selecting the “Properties” option.
