Hello, all Winondows 7 made changes to how an application works on my laptop and I waned to as for a explantion of the cryptic message it gave in case the changes turn out to be negative: Program Compatibility Assiatant windows detected that this program did not run correctly To try and fix the problem windows has applied compatibility settings to this program. windows will use these settings the next time you run the program. If you noticed that this program didn't run correctly, try nunning the program again. I'd hope that I don't need to find where group policies are hidden in my admin options but I'd like to know as it's been my past experience in the past the widows can stick it's nose in where it's not needed and do more damage that good, since I own this laptop not microsoft and have gone though all of the legal means.
