Run legacy applications

Sorry, here are the correct terms:

www.microsoft.com/windows2000/en/advanced/help/windows_security_default_settings.htm

"Power Users can... Run legacy applications in addition to Windows 2000 certified
applications"

"Users will not be able to run most programs written for previous versions of Windows
because previous versions of Windows either did not support file system and registry
security (Windows 95 and Windows 98) or shipped with lax default security settings
(Windows NT)."

You'll need to contact product support for the free hotfix.


Never heard of "backwards-compatibility mode"
