Former installation problem program under Windows 7 64-bit

I installed the 64-bit Windows 7, but I need to run some old software, for which I have a CD. (Actually I think it is 16-bit. Well, I know it's a dinosaur, but this is my situation.) Naturally, setup.exe is also 16-bit (perhaps 32 bits, but I doubt it). There is a shortcut to setup.exe on my desk, by double-clicking on it, I get this message:

The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are using. Check your computer's system information to see if you need a x 86 (32 bit) or x 64 (64-bit) version of the program and then contact the software publisher.

He ran very well under Windows XP 32-bit, and I don't remember doing something special for 16 bit then; I know that much. (I'm sure I'd remember something special like that, if I had). Microsoft program compatibility issues resolution isn't going anywhere.

How do I enter a 32-bit emulator environment and double-click the shortcut (or setup.exe itself) from there?

64 bit W7 run 16-bit programs.

32-bit W7 can run older 16-bit programs (a little) more

See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/32-bit-and-64-bit-windows#1TC=windows-7 and http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_programs/how-can-i-run-16-bit-programs-in-windows-7-64-bit/22b921f5-0b71-4ba1-8567-2bb86a1b604e for additional information.

If you have an eligible version of W7, you may be able to get the program running in XPMode or install Virtual Box and if you run an old copy of XP or W7 32-bit (assuming it's free with a free license, etc.) in that.

Or maybe make a system dual-boot W732 (or XP) and W764.

If it is a DOS program rather than an old Windows program, it can run into something like DOSBOX

  • OfficeJet 4630: anyone can print reliaby with Officejet 4630 under Windows 10 (64-bit) using wireless?

    I have a couple of PCs.

    Both run Windows 10 (64-bit).

    An upgrade from 8.1 64-bit. The other is Windows 7 ultimate (64 bit).

    I bought Officejet 4630 at the end of September.

    So far I have not been able to print from a reliable PC at all.

    Sometimes maybe a page can be printed, but if I try the next page. The print queue seems to get hung.

    Worse, on a PC (Win7 64-bit upgrade), I can not connect with USB at all.

    Immediately after installing the driver, it fails to "print test page"? What gives?

    (I have not tried the USB connection with other PCs through the situation. He's far away and so connected via radio.)

    Strangely enough, it's the HP printing diagnostic seems to work perfectly. It prints the test page.

    But, after a week of Calvary and see how works the test via the web interface, I now have the feeling that

    HP diagnostics program simply sends a command that causes the printer to print a test page to itself, and not

    through the path of ordinary driver through what print ordinary application data. It can be found.

    Due to the failure of printing with a USB connection, I asked local HP support for replacement t

    hinking that unit was bad.

    However, the replacement arrived today, but the same symptom!

    Agah.

    I'm afraid that HP screwed royally here, but worse yet, it doesn't seem to be aware of the problem in the light of some

    Reviews of so-called unconscious support people!

    If someone has this printer works reliably on windows 10 64 - bit

    Please let us know what you were doing. (although the chance that someone with perfect condition watch Forum HP may be low. You are posting and I read this forum because of problems...)

    -How you installed the driver (from which source)

    -which tweaks you did.

    I tried to install the OJ4630_198 and the driver is updated to Windows.

    Windows Update seems to be a little better, but still stuck print jobs are seen after a few

    tests and unnecessary. (Initially because of this apparent initial success, I thought that the problem was limited

    so a PC, but now I think that both PC evenly suffer failure).

    So far, I tried to change the PORT to a fixed TCP/IP address port (which sometimes seems to be feasible: sometimes not.) I was not able to understand why. Maybe the difference between HP driver or Windows update)

    Sometimes after the Ministry of port, the first printing time works, but the

    next print does not work.  It remains in the queue.

    This has been driving me crazy...

    If person not steps forward with the installation of reliable work (10, 64-bit windows), I think I'm going for it back to HP, although the initial cooling period has expired from a legal point of view, I'll see if I can convince the support contact.

    I bought HP printers only over the years. They lasted well and worked like a charm, and the black ink was really nice.

    After that, I can't printers recomment the HP to my friends more.

    TIA

    [Driver in Deskjet 6980 works for printing with capricious 4630]

    Under improved Windows 10, too!

    I checked it after upgrading my PC under Windows 7 64-bit of Windows 10.

    After a few false starts, however, some programs are missing 'Dropbox' "Norton Internet Security" (?)

    sort: I downloaded the binary Moose and once I let the Installer run again, they picked up the proper

    configuration of the previous installation and started running.

    I needed to tweak 'Register windows' but when I tried to run 'regedit' something 'Extended attributes are '.

    inconsistent"and any program that requires administrative privilege would begin: maybe Dropbox and Norton Internet

    Security has failed because of this issue. Surprisingly, I could fix this by restoring the default Windows theme.

    (In my previous attempt to update, I put it to something Bing, a jazzy theme on the Japanese season, or something.

    Affected and surprising finished showing 'Extended attributes are incompatible' (or you may need to

    reset the sound theme as well. YMMV.) I raised this strange questions after the upgrade just in case

    These problems are related to the Deskjet 6980 under Windows 7 64-bit driver installation before upgrading to Windows 10.

    Somehow, however, the previous installation of the driver instance 4630 seems to have disappeared (maybe I deleted it before

    the upgrade, I don't know.) So I install driver 4630 for * SCANNING * purposes only.

    FAX can wait a while.

    Finally, some working environment for Officejet 4630 with using the Deskjet 6980 driver for printing

    is being created.

  • Dependencies Microsoft MSVC 1.52 under Windows 7 64-bit

    Is it possible that I can install and run MSVC 1.52 under Windows 7 64-bit? I need to run this application to support a number of 16-bit DOS applications and I get tired carrying two laptops in the world.

    He ran under Windows 7/64 PRO XP mode or is the problem more to do with the dilated not supporting 64-bit not 16-bit.

    Thank you

    64-bit Windows does not support 16-bit applications natively.

    Assuming the program works under Windows XP, you can try XP mode since it will run as the 32-bit Version of Windows XP.

  • Photosmart 8450: Does the Photosmart 8450 under Windows 7 64-bit card reader work?

    Under Windows XP 32 bit card on my Photosmart 8450 network reader appeared as a network drive in Windows Explorer. Now that I've migrated to Windows 7 64 bit I get no network drive and if I put an SD card in the drive I get a 'map' mistake of access on the display panel. It is to be expected with the built-in drivers for Win 7? If so, is there no work around?

    Hello

    Thanks for the reply and sorry for not getting back sooner. Been strongly concerned about the end.

    I just find the solution to both problems.

    1. the card reader does not accept SD - HC cards. When I put an ordinary SD it worked fine.

    2 network drive mapping could not find the printer, even if I can print to it without any problems. I had recently also changed the router and discovered that the IP assigned to the printer was within the range of IP addresses assigned by DHCP. Changed static address to + 1.  Still did not work; posted in printer address was unidentifiable. Sitched printer, pulled ethernet cable outlet, turned on, plugged the ethernet cable. Bingo! The network drive works now.

  • DVD players dual layer works do not correctly under Windows 7 64-bit

    I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I have a LIte on double layer DVD writer which has the latest firmware. Unfortunately, while all software can see it's a double layer capable drive, time that I try to use it, it fails. The drive itself is good because if I put in a system using Windows 7 32-bit, it burns discs double layer perfectly. I've been all over the internet for the last 2 days looking for solutions, and I have tried everything that I've heard of. Uninstalling drivers, ensuring that there is no upper or lower filters showing, uninstall and then reinstall the drive, edit the registry. Again, the drive WILL burn discs double layer in 32-bit Windows 7, but it burns ONLY of single layer DVD in Windows 7 64 bit.

    I hope that someone here has found a solution to this. Especially since I'm wanting to upgrade to a Blu - Ray dual layer burner so that I can use fewer disks to make backups of the system. I know Bu-Ray discs are more expensive, but I prefer to use 2 or 3 Blu ray discs to backup my system than 10 or 15 DVD. However, if discs double layer Blu Ray do not work under 64-bit Windows 7, then there is no need to upgrade.

    OK, 1. The drive works PERFECTLY under Windows 7 32 bit, which has all the same drivers / software that is running the 64-bit system.

    2 features of fine player like a DVD of SINGLE LAYER burner (it burns fine of the simple DVD layer), but not as a burner double layer (doesn't even recognize a DVD double layer is still in the drive, he MADE on the 32-bit system and burn them without any problem.)

    I have contacted LITE-ON and am running the latest firmware. Similarly all other drivers on the system (a new system just built 2 weeks ago). Basically, all the material on the 32 bit WINDOWS 7 are cloned on the 64 bit system. Everything is the same. Only change is the operating system.

    I've seen other forums that have been linked and tried everything suggested... which most have not even apply it. Still refuses to acknowledge that a DL disk is in the drive.

    So at this point, I'm simply not worry more. Going to buy the Blu - Ray burner and only single layer Blu - ray discs.

    Thank you all for trying to help. I guess the answer to this is that no one really knows what that really is the issue, and even less how to fix.

  • PSC 2115 all-in-one has stopped printing under Windows 7 64-bit.

    Faced with the driver for PSC2115 which stopped working under Windows 7 64-bit. Problem is that this printer is old, but still in excellent condition and prints of cracking.

    Used the HP trobleshooters to exhaustion. It shows that the printer is ready, but prints just stuck in the print queue and outputs nothing.

    The message of the alignment of the cartridge is also high at all times, but it do not line up when you press on enter.

    Hello community, Oracle,.

    I installed a publishing standard oracle 11.1.0.7.0 under windows 2008 32 bit. When you create a database, I get an ORA-12560 error. I had this problem before, and the solution was, pachting the first instance, and then install the database with the dbca Wizard. Now my question is what is the best practice to patch the database to keep up-to-date. When you use advanced search in metalink didn't group patches, but 97 fixes some older then 1 year. I'm a bit confused and do not know which patch I have to install.

  • 32-bit programs for programs for Windows 7 64-bit

    Do I have both 32-bit AND 64-bit versions of programs for Windows 7 64-bit or can I remove the 32-bit versions?

    Caution indicates that you should adopt a two-step process:

    • Step 1: rename the folders where the 32-bit versions.
    • Step 2: If all goes well, remove the 32-bit versions after two to four weeks.

    Experience, explains that the disk space, you gain in deleting the programs will fill up again in a few weeks. Much better to install a drive with twice the capacty.

  • Installation problem w / 10 Windows on end 2015 27 "iMac retina

    I used boot camp and it installs windows 8.1 very well. When install updated to 10 from inside windows 8.1 windows or try a cleanup of 10 windows using boot camp, he gets at some point and I see a black screen and it does not go any further. Why Windows 8.1 installs fine, but not windows 10? I have the model with the hard disk of 1 TB in it.

    I have the same model as you, and I just spend the whole day trying to solve that, more than an hour on the phone with Apple support. Here's what I learned.

    Apple support agreed with me that the problem is most likely a bad display driver (AMD?) in the last set of drivers for Boot Camp. Unfortunately, Windows 10 compatibility for the end iMac to 2015 has been added only last month, so there would still be easily bugs in drivers. The result is that Windows is unable to turn on the display when the Boot Camp drivers are running, but cannot when the default system drivers are running. That's why we could still install Windows and boot to the desktop at the very first (until Boot Camp installed drivers).

    Support has also suggested that the new update of El Capitan 10.11.2 could contribute to the bug, but he was not sure about it.

    From my experience, the following will not solve the problem:

    • Reset the PRAM
    • Reinstalling Windows (bad drivers should I not get removed)
    • Using the Windows system restore
    • Install Parallels (you cannot yet touch the drivers)

    The only remaining thay of possible solutions have been discussed on the phone are:

    • Enter Windows 10 safe mode (very difficult, unless you hard reboot and reset the PRAM repeatedly) and uninstall the graphics card drivers or install the latest AMD drivers
    • Remove your Windows partition reinstall from scratch and refuse installing Boot Camp drivers when it comes to the top

    If you try one of these solutions, please let us know if it works.

    And if someone could tell me please how to guarantee to be able to boot in SafeMode Windows 10, it would be greatly appreciated. For the record, F8 and SHIFT + F8 are very likely to work.

  • Database and forms in different drives under Windows

    Hi all. I installed the database in my drive E:\ and my forms in C:\ drive in windows. If I put my ORACLE_HOME parameter to the path of the database and then my form builder does not work. If I have the same point to the location of Middleware, then I have a problem with the connection to the database. Please suggest what can be done.

    When you run anything with Oracle Forms in your Windows environment, I would have your ORACLE_HOME defined in the environment of forms. As Oracle Forms comes with SQL * Plus, all you need to do to connect to your database is to configure tnsnames.ora (located at %ORACLE_INSTANCE%\config 11g-shaped) to make your connection to your database details. Once this is done, you should be able to establish connections to your database.

    The steps are the same, if your database is installed on the same drive as the forms or if the database is on a remote server.

    NOTE: If you run any utility database other than sqlplus to prompt (emctl for example), you may need to set the ORACLE_HOME variable in the command prompt window to do. This will only put to the session command prompt that you are running.

    Thank you
