Often an application will run fine in a new OS and the only compatibility issue is a poorly written version check that is looking for an older version of the OS than the one you are running. In Windows 7, end-users and IT professionals may apply a fix to let the application think it is running on an older version of Windows. <br /> This unit offers ways to work around and fix version control problems in your applications.
