re: How do you make XP think it has SP5 Monday, January 7, 2002 at 2:03 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by C.J.W. (2 messages posted) Good News, XP has built in support for application compatibility. Click 'Start -> Help & Support -> Enter 'compatibility wizard' in the search field. There should be a few choices now, but the one you want is something like 'getting old programs to run on Windows XP.' Inside, there is a wizard to help you. Alternatively, you can locate the install.exe/setup.exe for your app, right-click on it, and you should see a new tab called 'Compatibility', this should allow you to choose a 'compatibility mode' On Monday, January 7, 2002 at 1:32 pm, Stan wrote: >Good Afternoon: > >Under Windows2000 you could add a registry entry under Windows NT|Current Version >called CSDVersion and put in Service Pack 5 to make an installation program think >that you had at least SP5 of NT 4.
