Hi,

What Windows update? (i.e., what specific version and update?)

What version of NowSMS?

Have you tried a re-install of NowSMS?

We're not aware of any incompatible version issues.

Hi Dennis,

When exactly does this "program compatibility" error appear?

Are you trying to launch NowSMS configuration, or start/stop the services via the Windows services dialog?

I ask because your screen shot shows the Windows services dialog, but the program compatibility report references "application smsgw". smsgw.exe is the NowSMS configuration program, so it would be run from a start menu link.

I can only guess that Windows program compatibility settings have somehow gotten confused on that system.

Try right-clicking on the start menu entry for NowSMS, and select "Properties". There is a "Compatibility" page in the properties dialog. Make sure that none of the compatibility mode settings are selected.

I'd still suggest a re-install. If you do not uninstall first, a re-install will preserve all existing settings.
