I have a media program on five CDs which I find I cannot view.
I'm running Windows XP Professional.
When I run the first CD it installs several files after making changes to config.sys and win.ini files.
When I click 'open' I get the message "Can't run 16 bit Windows program----- an application has attempted to directly access the hard disk, which cannot be supported. This may cause the application to function incorrectly. Choose close to terminate.
I have 256 Mb of memory.
My system directory says I'm running windows 32.
Can anyone help.

maybe i'm being a bit simplistic, but it sounds like u answered your own question
Jump to PostYou can't run a 16 program in a 32 enviroment. You probably can, but try to google it.
