SOLUTION FOR LOTUS 123-R5 FOR USE WITH WINDOWS XP
I've been able to get Lotus 123-R5 working completely without any problems whatsoever - in Windows XP. Try the following steps:
1) Create a desktop shortcut for loading Lotus 123-R5.
2) Right-click on the desktop icon, and choose "Properties".
3) Under the "Shortcut" tab, opposite "Run", specify "Normal window".
4) Under the "Compatibility" tab, set the following...
a) for "Compatibility mode", check off "Run this program in compatibility mode for", and then from the pulldown, choose "Windows 95".
b) under "Display settings", check off:
- "Run in 256 Colors"
- "Run in 640 x 480 screen resolution"
- "Disable visual themes"
c) under "Input settings", check off:
- "Turn off advanced text services for this program".
Click "OK", and you're done.
