Tips: Application compatibility of Windows 7 and application compatibility Assistant

In Windows 7, Microsoft is proud to provide more intelligent troubleshooting and help. In many cases, windows 7 can automatically diagnose existing problems and handle some common problems based on preset solutions or Internet searches. This includes application compatibility issues.

Although Microsoft once said that "applications that can be used in Windows Vista will certainly be used in Windows 7", it is not difficult to find out that, most of the time, the programs we can use in Windows Vista cannot be used in Windows 7. What I know is NetMeeting and Daemon Tools, they are not only unable to use the "compatibility mode", but do not expect to solve the problem through the "online search troubleshooting SOLUTION, maybe the XP Mode in Windows Virtual PC is the only solution ..

When using Windows 7, especially when installing applications, we often encounter such a dialog box:

This dialog box is the "Application compatibility assistant" in Windows 7. It usually appears in several situations: 1. The application installation is not complete. 2. the installer or application is designed for earlier Windows versions (earlier than Windows Vista or even XP ). 3. Some self-extracting exe files (such as WinRAR ).

The application compatibility assistant generally provides two options: "reinstall with Recommended settings" and "this program has been correctly installed". For the former, in fact, the changes it can make are very limited. Even if you choose this option, Windows 7 will only run the application using compatibility, and there is no other measure, so, this function is an imaginary "care". Do you see the annoying shadows of UAC?

To sum up, the methods provided by Windows 7 to solve the problem of application compatibility are not very useful. To achieve full application compatibility, we still need to hope for new versions of MS and software developers.

In addition, how do I disable this disturbing program compatibility assistant?
