Hello, I have software called Q&R.com, it runs on 16 bits with Windows XP and I have no problem, but with Windows 7 64 bits, it is not compatible. I would like to know if there is a way to make it 32 or 64 bits. If so, I will send you the software by email. Thank you for replying.

Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 23.0

    It needs to be compiled in 64 bits.....
    Create a shortcut of your program on the desktop, right-click on it and choose "Properties". Go to the "Compatibility" tab and check "Run this program..." and then choose Windows XP.
    Try different settings, win 7 will certainly find a solution to start it.

      No, it's not about running in XP compatibility mode.

      You cannot run a 16-bit program on a 64-bit OS.

      WoW is simply the emulation of 32-bit software (but not 16) on a 64-bit machine
      same on XP 32-bit (the classic) which emulated 16-bit on the 32-bit version.
