Visio incompatability

[Peter Dewing]

I have just recently upgraded to Windows XP, and When I
try to run Visio it returns a message " Incompatable with
this version of Windows".

How can I overcome this problem? is there a patch I can
down load? The same message apears for both Visio ver 5
and Visio 2000 proffessional.

Regards Peter

Peter,

You can ignore the compatibility warning and run Visio. The message appears
because those versions of Visio were released before Windows XP was created,
but I don't know of any reported issues with running Visio in this
configuration. If you do encounter issues, you can run Visio in Windows XP
Compatibility Mode:
