Hey whats up,
I have this computer program that I need to install on my laptop for my computer science class, but it turns out that it will not run on window's vista, which is what my laptop has. It's requirements are window's 95, is there a way to make it compatible?

I have no idea about vista, but XP had a compatibility option for executables...

In XP you would find the *.exe file, right click it and select properties, and in the properties window click the "Compatibility" tab. On the tab you'd see an option for "Compatibility mode" and would allow you to select an operating system for it to simulate running it...

Like I said, this is for XP... but vista most likely has a similar deal.

Vista has the compatibility, also there are windows 95 eliminators floating around the net, where I'm not sure but I've seen them.
