FreeCommander Forum

You can start programms on Windows 2008 R2 (64Bit) Server by using Explorer, navigate to the program, select program, right mouse, tab compatibility and then select more than 10 different modes like Windows Xp, Server 2003 SP1 e.t.c. If you try the same steps using freecommander instead of explorer then most compatibility modes are not available, only 4 modes like vista remain.

I think it is 64 bit problem (FC is 32 bit).

It does this under Windows 7 64-bit as well. It doesn't matter if I just right-click on an EXE file, or shift-right-click... either way, if I select "Properties", the "compatibility" tab is missing options for Windows XP, 98, etc. All i get is various flavors of Vista, plus Server 2008.

It's little issues like this that keep me from using FC all the time...

[Edit: I forgot that the shortcut for getting the alternate context menu is Win-right-click, not Shift-right-click. My bad. But still, the 64-bit context menu doesn't show all of the compatibility levels.]

I use FCXE 595 on Win7x64sp1 and the compatibility menu looks like this for the x86 FC context menu:



and like this for the x64bit FC context menu:
