Hi Group I read in another group that XP does not support Win16 apps. Surfing a bit on the net tells me that it its not that simple. Or ? I maintain a legacy Delphi 1 app and I've just learned that it doesn't run on a clean install of WinXP home. XP does support Win16 apps, does'n it ? Any hints? Thanks Jacob Back to top Brion L.

Surfing a bit on the net tells me that it its not that simple. Or There is a Microsoft Windows Application Compatibility Toolkit that is *not* installed by default on XP. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/appexperience/ Hopefully that resolves your technical problem. However, in my experience this tool is quite involved. I have not researched whether or not you can script it or send an .ini file to your user, hopefully you can find a way to simplify the process. -Brion Back to top Dave Schudel Guest Posted: Sat Nov 01, 2003 5:43 am    Post subject: Re: Delphi 1 app on Win XP Home ? Jacob, Have you tried the compatibility mode settings in Windows Explorer? Right-click, select Properties, then Compatibility. There is a box with a dropdown that says 'Run this program in compatibility mode for' and a list of versions of Windows from Win95 to Win2000.. I'd try the last version the program worked on and see what happens. Consider it a warning though, it may not work on future versions of windows. Might be time for a recompile. :) Best regards, Dave Schudel On Wed, 29 Oct 2003 22:00:01 +0100, "Jacob Havkrog" <jacobh (AT) skrolledata (DOT) dk> wrote: Quote: Hi Group I read in another group that XP does not support Win16 apps.
