How do you know whether to use compatibility mode? In a simple case, you start to install an application, which checks to see what version of Windows you're running, and the application does not recognize Windows XP.
This will usually result in an error message from the application such as: "This application was designed to run under Windows 98." Compatibility mode in Windows XP can work around this by telling the application that it is running under Windows 98 (or whatever version of Windows it requires).
