I grabbed a copy of this

but I get a popup from Windows 10 that says "This app can't run on your PC"

I tried setting various compatability modes using right click, properties but have not found the magic sauce.

Will these work on a modern system?

Thank you.

Do you have a 64bit os? Old 16 bit programs cant run on this without help. One way is to run a virtual machine containing an older os like XP, but an easier way is to install winevdm which provides a 16bit subsystem to win 10 64 bit. Its a few 100 kb download and a registry file hack, so much much easier than installing a virtual OS!

I've used this successfully to run a number of old 16bit programs on win10 64
