Visio5.0 on XP not working

[Kim]

To anyone who knows of a patch or something to help. I
recently got a new computer with Windows XP. When I
start Visio 5.0, I am told that Visio is incompatible
with this version of Windows. For more information,
contact Microsoft. I can't find any help through the
site. After I get that message, I am able to open Visio,
yet I cannot use my Accident Reporting templates.

Please Help!!!!!

Kim,

Windows supports old programs like this with a feature called "Compatibility
Mode." You might try running Visio 5.0 using Windows Compatibility Mode to
see if that resolves your problem. Here is information on how to do this:
