Windows XP has a program compatibility wizard. You can find it by going to start, all programs, accessories.The wizard will attempt to run older programs in XP, it does not always work however. Good luck. Or left click on the .exe or the shortcut. Under properties, you will see Compatibility.

How do you load visio 4.0 on Windows 7?

I was able to load and run Visio 4.0 on a Windows 7 PC. Just run the CDSETUP.EXE program from the CD. You'll need admin privileges to install. You'll also need to set Comparability mode to Windows 98. If you don't do this, the program will freeze at the splash screen. I'm in a domain environment where users do not have admin rights. I also needed to give Users full write access to the C:\program Files\Visio directory
