But as these two said, you are clicking the shortcut, not the actual .exe. You can find it by copying what’s after Location: on the shortcut.

Answer #15
Where your version tab is, is my Compatibility tab. I haven’t got a Version tab at all (Windows XP SP2). Weird.
Answer #16
Was that XP preinstalled in your laptop or did you download it?
Answer #17
Oh yeah something happened with this laptop.
I got a nasty virus, so my uncle took my laptop, and used that disk that came with my laptop and restored my laptop.
However, it was not complete, I had to go online and download drivers for it.
Maybe I missed something?
Answer #18
Well it still nothing to do with the Laptop…A virus or incomplete setup still to do with the operating system…
