Compatability Tab In Windows 2000

Windows 2000 came with no compatibility tab like XP has, but was added via the service packs. If Your Windows 2K does not have the service packs installed, the compatibility utility needs to be installed in Win2k before you can us it. Extract "Apcompat.exe" from the support.cab file in the support\tools folder on the Windows 2000 CD. This is the Windows 2000 application compatibility tool. Launch it and tell it to run your game for Win 95 or 98/ME.

If your Windows 2000 has the service packs installed but the compatibility tab does not appear, log on as Administrator and run:

regsvr32 %WINDIR%\AppPatch\slayerui.dll

(Start > Run... and type or paste this in the Run box) and reboot.

NOTE: XP has this tab for both EXEs and short cuts, while with 2K it only shows up on shortcuts.
