    Every time I start this program, it gives a warning that it is being run in compatibility mode. Ditto when I run any of the programs contained within it. Can anyone tell me why???

    Using this on XP Pro SP2 and Vista 32bit without any problem. My build version is 7991 as this is working for me I did not update to the current release.
    It could also help if you give members details on your system.

    Uninstall it reboot install and see if this help.

    HA! I bought Jv16 Powertools (macecraft.com) recently. Program easy to install & understand. Helps remove a lot of things that take up a lot of space on your computer. I would recommend this product instead.

    no tune up utilities is better... thats a weird issue though never heard that happen before... re-install should fix.
