Under Compatibility mode, check the box next to Run this program in compatibility mode for and select the appropriate version of Windows from the drop-down list. If you have issues with the visuals/graphics of the program, you can adjust the color and resolution under Settings: If colors are displayed incorrectly, check the Reduced color mode and select an option in the drop-down menu.If colors are correct but the visuals are off, check the box next to Run in 640 x 480 screen resolution. Optionally, check the box next to Run this program as an administrator, then select Apply and OK.
