Hi Warship,
Is the program 16-bit or 32-bit?

Because most Windows 3.x-based programs run properly under Windows XP=
, it's sometimes difficult to tell 16-bit and 32-bit applications apart.
Here are two methods for determining whether an application is 16-bit=
or 32-bit:
a.. Right-click the program's executable file and then choose Prope=
rties. If you see a Version tab, it's a 32-bit program.=20
b.. Or, if the program is running, press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open the=
Windows Task Manager. On the Processes tab, look in the Image Name column =
for the name of the program's executable file. If any 16-bit programs are r=
unning, you'll find an entry for Ntvdm.exe, the virtual DOS machine. Just a=
bove it in the list, you'll see indented entries for Wowexec.exe (the Windo=
ws on Windows subsystem) and the executable name of each 16-bit program run=
ning in that virtual machine.=20
