Windows 11 running a program in an earlier Window level

Question

I changed computers to a Dell Alienware and now I can't run Elder Scroll V Skyrim because I think I have to go to run it in Widows 7. Any ideas as to how I can do this? Thanks

Answer 1

Hi, Glyn. I'll be happy to assist you today.

Sorry to know you're experiencing this compatibility issue.

In order to run the game using compatibility mode, please right click on the icon and select the troubleshoot compatibility option. If you only have the icon in the Start menu, please right click on the program, select more then select Open file location option. Now you can right click on it and select the troubleshoot compatibility option.

 Feel free to reach me if you require any additional assistance or have further questions.

Answer 2

I never got the troubleshoot compatibility option. I have uninstalled the program and reinstalled it with the same results.
