The problem is no compatibility tabs shows up or a troubleshoot compatibility

Omg thank you, all these guides online need to stop assuming we know its 20 clicks away not ths 2 clicks it reads like. Got a whole new problem to deal with but thank you so much

Ahh finally, thanks, its so good to run my old favourites without that stupid compatibility fps drop thing.. talking about DoW 1, soulstorm, dark crusade and winter assault, i just changed the compatibility to windows Vista and now it runs smoothly, thanks again!

yes you fucking legend, i have been looking for a few months and my game finally works

Thank you, short and sweet right to the point.

It doesn't quite look like this anymore so you have to search for the exe that's hidden in one of the game's folders...but it fixed my problem. Bioshock had no sound unless I plugged in a headset with a microphone, but my headset is really uncomfortable so that wasn't working well for me. The sound is working for me now that I made the game compatible with XP. Yay!

Thank you for making this helpful video. Something annoying about Steam. Steam does not have a shortcut over using Windows Compatibility mode.

And when windows 10 is NOT giving me the compatability tab THEN WHAT

Echoing the thanks of others for your quick and super helpful video. Great work!

I am using STEAM on MAC via WINE and when I go to "Browse my files", Windows looks like Win32 or XP, not like WIndows 10 and when I right click and go to properties there are no options mentioned below, just OK, Cancel and Apply buttons. What should I do?

[yeaboii]

If you have everything unchecked already and you don't know how to disable comp-mode:

1. Windows+R (run) - Type in 'regedit'
2. Click your way to
3. Delete the entry for 'steam.exe'
4. Restart your computer and it will be disabled
