Can I open the 16-bit applications in Windows 8?
Hi MS support team,
I have a request for information with respect to a 16-bit application (made for the previous version of windows) running in Windows 8. The request is normally done using the old MS-DOS program in previous versions of windows. But when I opened the application using BACK of Windows 8 (64 bit) program, I got an error because of the incompatibility of the 16-bit application with the windows 64-bit versions. I also tried to run directly from Windows, but he did not. Attached below are pictures of the error and the properties.
Is there a method to open this application in the platform BACK of Windows 8? Or other methods to run this application?
Thank you for your help.
Kind regards
Jimmy

64-bit Windows 8 cannot run 16-bit programs. the only way to do
you want is to install a virtual machine and run it.
If possible, the best solution would be to get a newer 32 - bit or
64-bit version of the program.

Where can I download the 64 bit version of windows 7 OS?
Hello.
My warranty on my dell latitude e6500 laptop just recently expired, and of course that means I now have problems
My hard drive crashed, I'm trying to replace it with an SSD.
I intend to reinstall everything on my laptop from scratch, and while im at it I intend to do some updates.
I have windows 7 pro 32 bit Dell DVD re-setup and reinstalling windows XP pro 32-bit DVD, the two discs were supplied with my laptop.
I prefer to use windows 7 64 bit instead of 32 bit, so that I can put more memory in this laptop.
So my question is this: is there a way by which I can download a 64-bit version of the re-installation of windows 7 Dell DVD (an iso file would be nice).
I remember a few years with another computer (non-dell), I was able to go to the website microsoft and request a download free 64-bit to replace my 32-bit installation, is something microsoft still offers, and applies to dell as well? or can I just download a 64-bit version of dell?
I found a dell Backup Recovery Manager in the category downloads available in 32 and 64 bit, for my service tag, is that something that will generate a .iso or windows install package that I can use.
I appreciate any guidance that you guys can give, because my warranty is out and I can't get on the phone or chat online with dell.
You cannot download Dell installation media (or any what Dell media), but you can download Retail media, then activate by phone from Microsoft (NOT Dell) with the key on your COA (keys are interchangeable between the 32-bit/64-bit).

You can also use any installation media Dell 64-bit from another machine, borrowed from a friend, or bought on ebay. In the United States, Dell will send you filter replacement, although ONLY for the bit-level and the version you bought.

Can I use the 64 bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium to repair the same 32-bit version?
I'm trying to raise my 32 bit & running after a fatal accident. It will not accept orders that I found here. He tried to repair several times. The repair disk I created does not help. After of countless trial & error, I finally get an error code saying that there is a problem with the memory management. (Repair could not even find a problem the first 17 times) It tells me to use the installation disc for repair now. I don't have the 32-bit disk. The 64-bit version will be just as good?

How can I open the file ASHX on Vista 64 - bit PC
I downloaded an ASHX file on the internet and my PC Vistia 64 bit does not recognize. How can I open the file?
Hello
File with the extension to ASHX file is an ASP.NET Web Manager.
ASHX files are files used with the ASP.NET programming and can be opened with any program code in ASP.NET (like Microsoft Visual Web Developer). ASHX files are not intended to be read or opened by the browser. If you have downloaded a file ASHX and expecting that it contains information (such as a document or other recorded data), it is likely that something is wrong with the website and instead of generating usable information, she provided this file server instead.
You can search on the Internet a program that can open this file.
