Making APCOMPAT actually work?

Down8

OK,I'm trying to install Studio Pro, but it's an older version, so it just checks to see if the system is an NT system, then quits with an error that Windows NT is incompatible with this program. I know this program will work in Win2K, so I tried APCOMPAT.

Word/Office XP Question

Busby

I have Office XP and everytime I have a file open and double click a file in Explorer it opens a new word window (completely new) and not one with windows inside of it. So there are 2 listings of Microsoft Word in the taskbar when I double click on the file instead of one.

I'm using a pretty average setup. P3 700 mhz, GeForce video card, Hercules Crystal Audio based sound card (Game Theater XP). And all goes well except for one thing, DivX. I have installed the codecs, which means, yes, the alpha too.
