How can I run 16-bit programs in Windows 7 64 bit?

I'm running on Windows 7. Windows 7 does not run16 ILO programmes, e.g. Dbase III. Windows XP run 16-bit programs. How can I integrate windows XP running 16-bit programs?

This is not quite accurate. 64-bit Windows 7 (which must be what you)
have) does not 16-bit, but Windows 7 32 bit programs.

    is there a fix for lexmark x 5495 run on windows 7

    Hello Marjorie,.

    Go to this page: http://support.lexmark.com/index?locale=EN&page=product&userlocale=EN_US&productCode=LEXMARK_X5495&focusedTab=DOWNLOADS#1.

    You will need to know what color depth of Windows 7, you need to get the right driver. Go to the Control Panel, select system, and when this window opens, the Bit depth is listed a few lines under the version of Windows you have, for example, under system type, it will say 64-Bit operating system.

    Select the Windows 7 driver for either 32-bit or 64-bit and download it from the page above. Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

    Kind regards

  • I can't get out of safe mode when starting, and can not run the Setup program from windows XP in safe mode.

    I have a XP box that would only start in safe mode.  I needed to repair windows, so I started updating reinstall option but to reboot it says it cannot run in safe mode then it tries to boot into normal mode but crashes - which is what I am tring to solve.  Now I'm stuck because the computer is now making a loop and I'm stuck.  There is no available recovery console, it shows just the installation restart then goes into the shot.  If I try to launch safe mode, that it says cannot run update in safe mode then restarts in normal mode, which hangs then.  I'm stuck.  Boy the days where I wish I could just make the prompt C:\.  Thank you.

    You can connect your problematic hard drive to another PC to copy your important data, using a device such as:

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16812161002

    or

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16812119244

    I'm still not 100% convinced that you boot from the CD. Your Dell has the option of F12 to select a boot real-time device (as soon as you turn on the PC)? Also, remember that you have to "press any key to boot from the CD" when you see this screen! Of course, during a reboot, you start from the hard drive.

    Even if you did everything by the book, a repair installation could easily 'loop' as you describe. But as long as your hardware is healthy, a clean install is done.

  • How can I run a GIF picture on Windows 7?

    Whenever I want to open pictures gif, just to show me a picture, he doesn't move, if you have a solution please tell me

    You want the gif animated function. The file association by default for gif in Windows 7 is the other applications installed for viewing photos, as the viewer Live Photo and others as the Office Viewer. If you want the browser to open by default, you must reset the .gif extension.

    Control Panel/Default Programs / 'edit a file or Protocol association' / scroll down to. GIF and hightlight, then click on the "Edit" button and choose the browser (for example Internet Explorer.)

  • How can I run a program Windows Vista Windows 7?

    How can I run a window vista program in a window 7?

    Many programs of Vista will install and work without problems under Windows 7. If you find difficulties try compatibility mode:

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows .

    You can also check the compatibility of programs on the publishers program Web site or here:

    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/win7/CompatCenter/Home .

    Also, specific 64-bit programs will not work on 32-bit Windows (regardless of whether it is Windows Vista or Windows 7, etc.). Most, but not all, 32-bit programs will run on 64-Bit Windows. For more information. Please see:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-Vista/default.aspx

    Windows Vista Compatibility Center

    First thing to do is to check its Vista compatibility at the link above, and if not to see what patches/solutions are available from its manufacturer...

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-compatibility-mode/

    If this is not Vista compatible, read the info on the link above.
    It works for some programs, but not all.

    This applies to software programs, NOT hardware drivers.

    If it's Vista compatible > uninstall it > Re-download/save to your desktop > right click on the setup.exe

    O run as admin.

    See you soon.

    How can I find out what programs I should have started and what are the programs I can start myself to my computer to run correctly when starting?

    Hello

    I understand you want to learn about programs, you should start your Windows startup. I will certainly help you to question.

    When you start Windows by using a normal startup startup, several applications and services automatically, and then run in the background. These programs include the base system, antivirus software, utility applications processes system and other software that was previously installed. These applications and services may cause interference when you install or run a program.

    The system configuration is a tool that can help identify problems that might prevent Windows from starting correctly. You can start Windows with common services and startup programs turned off and then reactivate them, one at a time.

    I suggest you to refer to the links below and check if this is useful:

    Using the Configuration System (msconfig)

    Perform a clean boot to determine if background programs interfere with your game or program

    Hope this information helps.

    Please get back to us with an update on the issue, we will be happy to help you.

    The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

    Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in.  Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.)  You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

    You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory.  This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

    Hello

    Try this: instead of this:

    Run the sfc/scannow command.

    1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
    2. Type the following command and press ENTER:

    Original title: slow start

    How can I find out what programs are essential in the implementation, we can stop?

    Windows Home vista 32 premium

    Hey Stella-50,

    How slow is slow? For example, my machine (e-machine E4264 2.2 ghz with 2 GB RAM) boots in 95 seconds. For me, I call it, in the average. I am currently in the process of looking for a new machine because it is already 3 years old, so maybe that OEN will be slightly faster to start.

    What you can 'turn off' will depend on which in fact initially launches upward and, unfortunately, you have not told us that at this moment. Is that you should not disable your anti software anti-virus (updater). nothing to do with your mouse and your keyboard etc.

    Perhaps, if you made a list of what application are actually being run at startup (via the msconfig Startup tab) can someone take a look at them and see if, or what can be disabled.

    Otherwise, you might take a glance at Startup Delayer http://www.r2.com.au/software.php?page=2&show=startdelay to see if you can delay the time different applications load to allow windows to start up more quickly. I haven't used so I can't say how good/bad it is.  It's a freeware.

    Original title: need HELP

    Go in run and msconfig!

    Under the control of services tab hide all microsoft processes
    These are the programs that are running at startup you can go through the menu of your program and configure each individually to run at startup.
    If you decide it's not worth having to go to control panel and then programs and then decide to uninstall the program.
    If you decide to use your drive to factory restore do not forget to install the programs you need.

  • How can I run another application in my form

    Dear gurus,

    Can someone tell how can I run an application oracle not my forms...
    Can it be done through DDE package...
    If so, how... ??
    Can it be done as call Excel through DDE package?

    Thanks in advance...

    Concerning
    Swati...

    Hi Swati,

    You can use the command () HOST to run another program of forms.
    If the program is not in the system path then you must use the full path of the .exe file in the parenthesis or only the name of the executable file will suffice.

    example:
    Host (tnsping AAA);
    This will open the command prompt in windows and ping the TNS name aaa.
