I need to run an old program from back 16 bits on 64-bit Windows 7.

I asked that the supplier and the 32-bit and 64-bit software versions are not available. How can I run the software I have?

Try the Windows XP Mode to run your 16-bit application:

All editions of Windows 7 Professional, full and business supports XP mode which can (not a 100% certainty) start your older Windows XP compatible software. For more information, read the info below, pay attention to the requirements.

Run in Windows XP Mode requires:
Windows 7 - Professional, Ultimate, or Enterprise (not supported in the Home Premium edition - upgrade Express below see).

XP Mode System Configuration required
Supported operating systems:
Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 ultimate or Windows 7 Enterprise.
Note: If you have Windows 7 Home Premium, look at the "Anytime Upgrade" options

Hard disk required:
2 GB for installation of Windows XP Mode. Additional 15 GB of disk space available for the virtual Windows environment.

(Windows XP Mode will no longer need technology hardware to run virtualization)

Under Windows 7 Home Premium, then consider either a Windows 7 'Anytime Upgrade' or Sun's VirtualBox: http://www.virtualbox.org/

Patch registration cleanup: not a lot of information as to why this tool is mentioned by Microsoft and if he has no role in relation to the installation of the software in XP Mode but I included it for reference purposes.
