windows can not run 16 bit programs

[Guest imimiam]

my system crashed system with a blue screen.

I paid to have my data recovered.

I replaced my hard drive and started from scratch.

Now I can not install an old drawing program which I had running on the old

hard drive. (same xp disc) The message reads windows can not run 16 bit

applications. Insuficient memory available please quit one or more apps and

try again.

 

Any suggestions?

RE: windows can not run 16 bit programs

 

Thanks for your help guys. But I failed to check the disk on another

computer and it behaves the same way. Very strange. Sometimes with windows

it becomes very easy to assume its the O.S. and you forget to check the

obvious. For the first time in a long time my system is working properly.
