Does anyone know of a game or any software for that matter (freeware please, or demoware, or budgetware if its good) that 1) refuses to work on Windows
XP without compatibility mode being used, and 2) one that refuses to work
unless installed with compatibility mode.
Need a new video on compatibility mode, but I can't find any of this phantom
software!!!
