I'm looking to buy a certain piece of software for my wife (Polaroid scrapbook suite) but it says "Windows XP and above.". I called their "tech support" hot-line and asked if it would run under 2000 Pro and was told no but they couldn't tell me why.
I know, just switch, right?
I remember there used to be a way to "fake-out" windows to run later versions of software in older OS'S but don't know if this holds true with 2000 & XP.
Ideas or thoughts anyone?

Sure. Use the SETVER command in your Autoexec.bat. Um, on second thought that probably works only on DOS.
FWIW, I just opened a DOS window and ran
VER
For XP-home-OEM SP2...VER reported 5.1.2600.
For 2000 Pro SP4...........VER reported 5.00.195
If you have the software try it. I Googled Poloride My Memories Suite and didn't come up with much.
