Here's the download page.  The program you want is Resplendent Resolver.
Its no longer under development, but still available for download and is
free.  They also have other utilities there free and pay.  Their registry
editor is excellent and is at version 5.  I actually prefer the free
version 2 to the later versions because free version 2 has more functions
turned on than later free versions, and I like the interface a bit better
in version 2 compared to current version 5.

Does it not disappoint you when you spend lots of time staying up to date
with the latest updates and service packs, get the latest release of a
program  and receive the following message when you try to install it:
"Windows NT Service Pack 4 is required"

Or when you just bought a new CD-Rom, copied it to hard disk and realized
that it only works from CD because of built-in protection and you get the
message:
"Please insert the CD with serial number 02C4:78C0 into your CD-Rom drive"

Or when you finally insert it and you get the message: "This program
requires a screen resolution of 800 x 600 with 256 colors."

Or when you install a new 80GB harddrive in your system and realize that
many older applications do not install anymore because your disk free space
is misreported.  Many installation programs just use 32 bits to store the
total or free space. which will support drives of up to 2 or 4 GB.

Now solve these, and many other problems by deceiving your applications
with Resplendent Resolver to enforce compatibility. Resplendent Resolver
offers functionality similar to the programs APCOMPAT.EXE and MKCOMPAT.EXE
which are distributed by Microsoft.

However note that Resplendent Resolver can remove built-in software
protections but cannot get software to work which does not run on your
operating system for principle reasons.
