Programs don't work on Vista and Server 2008


Many, if not all, of my old VC++ 6.0 MFC apps don't work in Vista and Server 2008. I had that migration was a problem, but now it's my problem :(

How do I go about making these things work? Is that possible? I've searched, but is there some repository of knowledge on this subject?

edit: Compatibility mode seems to work.


Solution

  • Without recompiling, have you tried setting the compatibility mode on the program to Windows 98 or ME?
