How To Run 16-Bit Software On A Windows 7 64-Bit Computer

I live in an area of the country where there are many elderly people. Many of these astounding citizen still have old computers that are running old software. However, minute by minute they are beginning to upgrade their computers and Operating Systems to the latest and many 64-bit Windows 7 - but they want to keep using their favorite old software. Therein lies the problem!

The other day I set up a new Windows 7 motor for a client. He was very happy and then he said "Ok, now let's setup my wife's American Greetings CreataCard Gold 5 and my Hoyle Card Games". He and his wife had used these same programs for years and they couldn't live without them!

Computer Software Classes

Well as you can probably imagine, these two programs would not install. Both of these older programs are16-bit and will not setup on the 64-bit Windows 7 Os. If my client had purchased a computer running 32-bit Windows 7, he could have run his programs in Compatibility Mode but this function will not work in 64-bit Windows 7.

So, the guy was very disappointed but I stayed as "cool as a cucumber" because I knew that there were several, great, free virtual motor programs that will allow you to run these older 16-bit programs on Windows 7 64-bit.

These are the programs that I suggest (especially #2 & #3):

1) Dosbox (Dosbox is a Dos emulator and only runs 16 bit Ms-Dos programs and not 16 bit Windows Applications).

2) VirtualBox (a "virtual machine" that allows an unmodified operating system with all of its installed software to run in a special environment, on top of your existing operating system).

3) Vmware Player (a "virtual machine" that will run heritage Windows applications on top of your existing operating system without interfering with the original Os).

Have fun chronic to enjoy your older programs on your brand new Operating System!!
