Post #31,523 by andread 3/10/02 9:40:46 AM Reply	I looked it up for you Right click on the link of the program that you want to fix. Click on Properties . Click on the Compatibility tab. Click on Run this program in compatibility mode and select one of these: Windows 95 Windows 98 Windows NT 4 Windows 2000 Under Display settings, check mark the mode that you think that is necessary for the program to work correctly: Run in 256 colors. Run in 640 X 480 screen resolution. Disable visual themes. Click on Apply . Click on Ok. Double click on the program. Would MS lie to You?

The CD Autorun locked up the machine, but the Right-Click on the CD-ROm drive and selecting "Explore" worked so that we could double-click on the setup.exe program that Autorun was supposed to run. It works in XP, but 2000 knocks the CD-ROM drive out of commission until a reboot is done. "Will work for fair salary and benefits, seeking company with integrity."
