Title: How do you change compatability to prevent linkdead?
Post by: Acelin on July 01, 2003, 12:47:14 am

As the subject says...I want to change the compatibility from Win95 to 98/XP in order to get past the linkdead error (hopefully). However, I can\'t quite seem to figure out how to change the compatibility...can someone help me please?

I went to properties like you said, but there isn\'t any drop down box. I got a big box full of options, but compatibility wasn\'t one of them. The tabs were General, Options, Font, Layout, Colors, and Security.  General doesn\'t allow me to do anything but change the name, archive and index attributes, and compress and encrypt. Options only includes cursor size, edit options(insert and quickedit mode), display options, and command history. I can\'t find anything about compatibility. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Windows 2000. Is that bad?

no not at all. it\'s just that if you were on 98, you wouldn\'t need worry about the compatibility issue. have you managed to change the compatibility though?

Title: batch?

Sounds to me if the file u checked is a batch or a DOS executable... my psclient.exe shows the right, perhaps try to run the update? So it downloads the right one...

Yeah, everything seems to be running in DOS...it shouldn\'t be?

I searched found one other file called psclient setup, it was a .def file (whatever that means) but it won\'t let me change compatibility either. I don\'t even know what sort of program I would run it with.
