16 BIT WINDOWS SUBSYSTEM ERROR MESSAGE
Hi,
For starters, this file and folder path doesn't exist in Vista. You would need to check with the software vendor for recommended steps, or for an updated, compatible version of the software. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Jessica" wrote in message ...

16 BIT WINDOWS SUBSYSTEM ERROR MESSAGE
Since Vista does not normally support old 16 bit programs possibly you can
load it and run it in Windows 98 or Windows XP mode in Vista. "Jessica" wrote in message ... I am trying to install a cd to be used for an online course that I am taking this semester.

Vista 32-bit supports 16-bit applications, Vista x64 does not.

Good comment my previous post is not stated well I should have said "does
not support all 16 bit programs". The following KB article covers the issue quite well. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926657 "Rick Rogers" wrote in message ...
