I am using Windows 7 ultimate RC1. When I go to use compatibility mode to install Photostory 3 it does not give the same dropdown options shown in your tuorial windows. It only says 'previous version of windows', and no other choice. And the program does not install. I also tried the wizard and it says something like 'disabled version check'. But it still doesn't install.

I have found numerous sites and pictures on the web of people running photostory 3 on thier Windows 7 machines and installed it and run it using the steps above. How do I make the OS options show up for campatibility mode? Thanks, -Tim.

She just got a new PC from a local computer shop and is trying to get some of her old programs to work with Windows 7 Home Premium.

When I asked her to right click on the program Icon and go to properties, the compatibility tab is not there. After reading up a little more on the different Windows 7 operating systems, it looks like it should be available. I am having trouble finding why its not there.
