I don't know much about the technical reasoning, but I don't know why, for
example, the ribbon system has replaced the pulldown menus, why sounds are
handled in such a way that games no longer work and recording of music
cannot be done as it used to be, and why perfectly user friendly Email
The first thought is that it's the modern operating systems that are the
problem, and that these operating systems should be made backward compatible
to accommodate software that has loyally been used by the multitudes. I
doubt if that can be done, though.

if you don't like microsoft, switch to ubuntu-gnome 14.04. but if you do
that you may complain about the lack of games on that operating system then.

Hmmm so why are games like Trupanum not work if they were written in VB6.

The ribbons do not work like a dialog box. You can be tabbing and,
suddenly, with no apparent reason, you are now on the lower ribbon. Once
there, you cannot shift tab once to get back on top. You are now moving to
the left along the lower ribbon, where you don't want to be.

If this were true, there would be no sound problems with games developed for
the blind, but there are. Outlook Express does not work on Windows Vista
and above. Pulldown menus are no longer used. And you say these issues can
be fixed with just a little work? How.

Outlook express is from the 90's, no? I personally use windows live 2009,
which is completely accessible, does not have ribbons, and runs like a charm
under windows anything. The little work comes in digging up the installer,
but google is your friend.
Sound problems: I don't yet have windows
get mozilla thunderbird, and get a program to switch windows back to
pull down menus.

Hi Charles,
Unfortunately, while it is all well and good for an end user to say
companies should make software, especially an operating system
backwards compatible, he or she is likely unaware of the technical
aspects of what they want. They are unaware of the complexity or the
difficulty
Hi Charles,
We are veering way off topic here, but since you asked and others
might be wondering I'll go ahead and answer your question.
The simplest solution to your problem is find a different program with
a user interface that you are comfortable with. If you didn't like the
new Wordpad with
Hi Christopher,
There are a number of reasons for why a game like Troopenum doesn't
work besides being written in VB 6. It could be it relies on some
older activex components that are not present on the system in
question or the software Justin used to pack the executibles etc is
itself
Hi Charles,
Well, to begin with there are sometimes a technical reason for a
change, but a lot of times there isn't. Unfortunately, a lot of end
users aren't savvy enough to recognize the difference between the two.
In this case your question is a little of both.
Regarding issues with sound it
So for all of you comp savvy people on hear, is it possible to install
