What is compatibility view ?

A compatibility mode is a software mechanism in which a software either emulates an older version of software, or mimics another operating system in order to allow obsolete or incompatible software or files to remain compatible with the computer’s newer hardware or software.

The Internet Explorer browser uses the compatibility view so that older websites will still work on newer versions of the Internet Explorer browser. Sometimes the emulation has the counter effect on newer website software, making newer sites malfunction while this feature is turned on, this is the case with Miltonroy.com.

Compatibility view may be toggled on/off on your browser will not affect the performance or security of your computer and network.
