When Windows 7 was officially released by Microsoft there were several applications which users were not able to install on the operating system because of the compatibility issues. Because of the compatibility issues many times .EXE files, when executed by double-clicking on them, stopped responding and the operating system used to display an error saying “.EXE has stopped working”. Because of this reason people started avoiding Windows 7 and many of them rolled back towards Windows XP. However many people don’t know that Windows 7 has a built in feature by the name of Program Compatibility that allows older applications to run on Windows 7 by configuring them accordingly.
