Windows 10: Compatibility Mode Question

This may be a dumb question, but, I'm good at it.

Does it do anything if you change the Compatibility Mode setting on the EXE that launches a program?
Or is it necessary to reinstall that program in that Compatibility Mode?

I ask because I'm having a problem with an old version of AutoCAD LT that started after a Windows Update.
This version of the program (2010) is not supported for Windows 10, but it was running fine until just recently.
AutoDesk forums says a reset or reinstall is the solution.
The kicker is that AutoDesk does not issue any activation codes anymore for any perpetual license product (since 9/1/19) , so re-installation is going to be an even bigger chore - on top of the 6 hours I need to configure it normally.

Is this compatible?

I think I have narrowed down my mobo selection to the ASUS P5N32-E SLI Plus but, the reviews suggest checking the Qualified Vendors List for memory on the ASUS site as this board can be particular. The information is not currently available. It was suggested in one review that the compatiblity of memory to this board on their list was not accurate. Many other reviews suggest no problems with memory compatibility.

Can anyone tell me if the Corsair XMS2 2gb (2x1gb)- DDR2/800 Twin2X2408-6400 would work troule free on this ASUS board?

Another question....I am planning to use an Intel Core 2DUO E6400 Conroe 2.13ghz on this board. What the heck do I use for a heatsink? There are so many to choose from and I know nothing about them....

Thanks, Chirp

 

Installer UI Mode Error on windows 10

Hi Aly,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



Please reply to these questions, to understand the issue better:

• 
  What is the make and model of the computer?
  

• 
  Did you try installing the application
  in compatibility mode?
  

I suggest you to install NX10 in compatibility mode and check if it helps. Compatibility mode runs the program using settings from a previous version of Windows. Follow these steps to install the drivers in compatibility mode and check if that helps.

• 
  Right-click on the setup file and click on ‘Properties’.
  
• 
  Click on the ‘Compatibility’ tab and check the box ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows 8/8.1 operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation. Once
  this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.
  

Let us know how it goes, we’ll be glad to assist you further.
