Cleaning up the basement, I found a couple still readable disks from my Win95 days. Scanning through them for anything that should be preserved, I came across one long forgotten program (called C-MAP, but that is not essential here). It certainly would start up under Win10, but only to display a message that it can only be run in a 256 palette mode.
I remember that there was a setting in WinXP where you could flag an .exe to be run in 256 color mode. Maybe it was still available in Win7; I don't think I ever had the need then, and never knew. I have been searching all over the place in Win10, with a GeForce 610Ti display card, but can't find any similar setting anywhere. Googling gives me a lot of hints on how to do it, but the options I am told to select is absent from the dialogs - the hints appear to predate both Win10 and Win7.
Is there any way to emulate 256 color palette is Win10 with a GeForce display card? Does it depend on the driver, or is the problem with Windows dropping this feature some time ago?
My only reasons for running C-MAP are nostalgic ones; I have no real "need" for it. But maybe, deeper down in the pile of old disks, I will find another program with similar 256-color requirements, and this program is needed for rescuing some valuable data files. So I would certainly like to know of a general way to handle it, not for C-MAP specifically.

For Windows 11:
- Right-click on the program's icon
- Click on the "compatibility" tab
- Click on the "reduced color mode" check box
- Select "8-bit (256) color"
I assume that it is similar for Windows 10.
This will work for 32-bit programs, but not for 64-bit programs (which didn't exist under O/S versions before XP).

How the * could I overlook that? I could swear that I had been searching 'Properties' half a dozen times 
Thanks a lot. (Your explanation was missing one step: After right clicking, you have to select Properties from the menu, but that is a minor detail.)

I bought a pair of Merrell Moab 3 waterproof boots 13 months ago
and the sole around the toe area is spiting from the boot
OK Merrell said 12 months for return
I have another pair that is 8 years old that the Vibram sole is warn flat gone
Merrell told me they would give me a 30% discount
Just select the item I want and respond to an email they sent me
The issue is I can not make a purchase on the website without a phone number
I have suggested I am prepared to take this to court
My step daughter sued 3M for damaging the water supply in the US and other countries
YES the law firm team won
Merrell told me to ask a friend or neighbor for a phone number!
Any one what to loan me a phone number ?
OR should I just make up a phone number ?
Issue my real phone number is more than likely linked to my Chase Credit Card
OR just shut up and stop being a grumpy OLD man

Seems unlikely. First of course would be what is known as 'standing'.
Now perhaps she was part of a class action suit in the US. Or she is some participant in a government entity, which is the most recent one I found when searching.
But I doubt you can do the same for a retail product unless you can find a warranty that says they will last longer than 12 months. And then find a law firm willing to front you as the primary in a class action lawsuit. Expect probably 10 years before you get anything from that though.

And most of what you get will be eaten up by lawyer's fees.

Tell me about Lawyer Fee's
My father remarried he had a will that was written when he was married to my mother
before her death
New wife's family got my father to write a new will at the time he was failing
from Alzheimer and I was written out of the will
When he died in December it was the following year in April when I was notified of his death my child hood home in Ohio was in my name my father died in California
$25,000.00 later I retained the house and property
some of the investment accounts real killer they tried to forge my signature on
a life insurance policy

You are correct collaboration with the Feds
I agree just rattled my cage asking me to use someone else's phone number
and demanding a phone number to make a purchase

If you are determined to sue, AND the sum is worth your time and effort, you may wish to try small claims court. Just remember that going to Law has costs above the financial. Even if you win, you may lose when your time, effort, and aggravation are taken into account.

They probably want it so they can send you spam texts. Just block any that you receive.
Your credit card is presumably linked to your phone number (so the company can contact you in the case of possible fraud). Even if you use your credit card to pay your phone bill, that information should not be stored by the phone company. In any case, if the phone or the credit card companies' billing records are hacked, you have bigger problems than a bit of spam...

Been down that road Amazon and Chase got hacked and my phone number
for my Credit Card went along for the ride
I exceeded the number of blocked phone numbers permitted on the phone
That is why no more phone numbers
Verizon has the phone number not sure what they do with it
take care and stay safe Daniel
