A. Yuck! If you do need to do this a utility is supplied with Windows95 and 98 called mkcompat.exe which will make a program think its actuallyrunning under Windows 3.1 etc.
Click the Start button, click Run, type "mkcompat" (without quotation marks) in the Open box, then click OK
On the File menu, click Choose Program
Select the program's executable file so that it appears in the File Name box, then click the Open button
Click the 'Lie About Window's Version Number' check box to select it
On the File menu, click Save
Quit the Make Compatible tool
Try running the program again
