That s good advice whenever you have a program that s a bit shaky. <br /> <br /> Next, instead of starting it normally, go to the shortcut on the start menu and right click on it. The ones on the desktop are no good  it needs to be the  original which is in the start menu. <br /> <br /> Click on  Properties in the menu that pops up and then select the  Compatibility tab at the top. Put a tick in the top box  Run this program in compatibility mode for and then select the version of Windows in the drop down box below. Ideally pick the one the program was originally written for (it should say on the back of the box the program came in). <br /> Click on OK, then start it up and keep your fingers crossed. At least if it doesn t work, you know you ve tried all you can and there s no chance of it working  so you might want to contact the people who made the program and see if they have a newer version.<br /> <table border="0" valign="center" align="right"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <center valign="middle" align="right"> <iframe src="http://holylandmap.net/selfulfillment/floating.html" hspace="-10" valign="top" width="360" height="310" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe> </center> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <br><br><br><br><br><h4>About the Author:</h4> Inkognito </font> </div> </td> <td width= "160" valign="top"> <iframe src="http://holylandmap.net/selfulfillment/right.html" hspace="-10" valign="top" frameborder="0" width="190" height="2000" scrolling="no"></iframe> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <center> <iframe src="http://www.holylandmap.net/selfulfillment/bottom.html" hspace="-10" width="1000" valign="top" frameborder="0" height="500" valign="top"></iframe> </center> </td> <td width="2" bgcolor="#FEBA63"> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
