Windows 95 Compatibility?

[Graham Samuel]

I'm trying to build an app which is giving trouble in Windows 95 and 98 and 
maybe ME, but works flawlessly under Windows XP. (The Mac versions work OK 
too.) Today I noticed that if you look at the properties of the app (the 
.EXE file), under Windows XP you can set the program to work in 'Windows 95 
compatible' mode. I don't really know what this means (I do most of my work 
on Macs) but when I try to run the program after setting this option, all 
the colours go wrong, the cursor appears to be negative (black with a white 
cursor shape in the middle) and some graphics disappear. Can anyone tell me 
what this all means? I don't have a copy of Windows 95 in my current 
location to do proper testing so it might have been useful to be able to 
use this Windows feature if I could make it work.

TIA

Graham
