Answer

Hi Justin,

 

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Let me help you.

 

Follow the below procedure to install a driver in compatibility mode.

Run the program in the compatibility mode.

 

If a program or driver written for an earlier version of Windows doesn't run properly in current Windows, then you could try using compatibility mode on the program to hopefully allow it to run properly.

I suggest you to run the program/game in the compatibility mode and check if it helps. Follow the below steps:

  1. Right click on the program icon, click on Properties.

  2. Click the Compatibility tab.

  3. Check the Run this program in compatibility mode for box and select the Preferred Windows.

  4. Click on Apply and click OK button.

Check if it helps.

 

I hope the information helps. If you have any further queries, please feel free to contact us again. We will be happy to assist you.
