For people that can't see a "Compatibility" tab in Properties:
1. Make sure you're right-clicking on the actual .exe file, not the shortcut from the Start menu.
2. If you still can't see it, right-click on the .exe file again, choose "More options" and then choose "Troubleshoot Compaibility". Tick "The program requires additional permissions" as you go through the compatibility wizard, test the program, and save the outcome. (Which stores settings in the registry.)
