You're as sane as they make 'em. :-) When you right-click the app or short-cut, click PROPERTIES and click the COMPATIBILITY tab, there IS a drop-down menu. You check a box that says to run this app in a different mode, and then you hit the drop down box and select what OS you want to "emulate." I quoted the word "emulate" cause you're not really emulating... but, you know what I mean. You see... no insanity! ---Troth At 9/23/2003 05:04 PM, KC wrote: >Why Troth do I keep seeing in my mind with a box that has a drop down menu >that says win95 , 98 etc?
