Compatibility mode works fine... sometimes. But, it won't kill your
computer. If it doesn't work you just remove it. To apply it, find the
executable file that you're running, and right-click on it. Select
PROPERTIES and then the COMPATIBLY tab. From there, fill in the blanks.
And, you can remove it just the same. In honesty, of all the times I myself
have tried it to fix older programs to work on my computer, it has not
worked. That's MY story. Others have given whopping success stories. So,
you just need to try it for yourself.
Regarding the burning software...
Many people swear by the XP built-in burner. Me, personally, I like to add
my own burner. The only thing I use the built-in burner for is temporary
packet-writing (which is drag-n-drop like a floppy drive). Installing a
separate burning app will not mess anything up, nor will it disable the
built-in XP burner. You can use all of them at will.
