Hello I am having a problem with a program called rhapsody (a music downloader). When i initiate the install, a message comes up that says i am running windows 95 and the setup will now exit. I am definetly not running that though, i have windows XP home. Other programs have given me similar version notices that are incorrect, but the specifics i dont recall. Can anyone help?

Jump to Postdid you upgrade to xp home from win 95?
Jump to PostAre you using any kinda firewalls ?? some firewalls allow stealth mode browsing .. so the websites cant see what version of browser or OS are you running ... check for that.
Jump to PostDisable every norton product you may be running.
Jump to PostNo clue, if you are really running windows xp then it shouldn't be an issue, IIRC Raposody is that program from real networks right? they should have customer support as it is a paid to download program no?

It's possible that Compatibility mode is set to run in Windows 95 emulation for these programs. Right click the program's exe and choose properties. Click the compatibility tab. Uncheck "Run this program in compatibility mode ". Try running the program again.

No, the norton ip tracker is actually run from a website, and the installer is not set to compatability

Negative, the rhapsody i was trying to install was free. And its troubling that this question has people stumped. :-|
