16bit on 64bit XP problem?

Posté par crazy_phoebe, le Friday March 7, 2008 06:33:07 PM
Hello,
Why can't I install 16-bit programs on a computer running the 64-bit version of Windows XP?
Configuration: Windows XP
Firefox 2.0.0.12

The 64-bit XP platform is backward-compatible with 32-bit programs but not with 16-bit applications. If the installation program is 16-bit, the program won't install. If you attempt to install a program on the 64-bit XP platform, you might receive one of the following error messages: Install.exe is not a valid win32 application / Setup.exe is not a valid win32 application.

have a ASUS Mother Board "M2N-E" with a AMD 64 Athlon X2 processor

has two Memory Chips in it, two 2 gig chips = 4 gig in two of the four slots. what I want to do is to hook up a old VCR so I can edit the video then put it on DVD. I have Windows xp Professional x64 Edition.(64 bit)

Please give me some idea of what kind of Capture Card and software you recomend to make this work. It must support (64 bit)xp pro

Im sher RCA plugs are involved.

I also want to plug in a old cassette tap player so i can dub sound into my movies. email me your input , or helpful ideas on this.

thank you sincerly freejoe
