Hi

XP Sp2 has been installed when it was installed something about 16 bit was not installed, we know find that we cannot RUN some 16 bit programs.

how can we run these programs without having to reformat and reinstall everything.

Regards
pRight click the Desktop, Go to Properties and select the Settings tab.
Change the Color Quality like in the picture below.


Does that help at all?Did you use the original windows disk that came with your computer to INSTALL XP? Was it an upgrade disk?
When was the first time you saw the error message?Carbon, I don't THINK he's talking about 16-bit colour (or "color" if you prefer).
List which programs won't run properly...
Or if you are savvy enough find the executable of the non running program and create a shortcut to it on the desktop.
Re-boot.
Now right clik the newly created shortcut and select "compatibility mode"
Re-boot and see if it runs properly.

If not post back with more details... Quote from: Dias de verano on June 17, 2008, 02:00:36 PM
