Running 16bit progs in WinXP

[EGTE]

Running WinXP SP1.
I wish to run an executable programme but get the message "Can't run 16-bit Windows program".
I'm told (rather glibly as if i'm expected to know how) that I need to change the folder names to the old 8 character format. How do I do this? For a start, "Program Files" will not allow me to rename it!

Yep! Tried that - no luck! :confused:

Moving the executable file to the "C" root directory AND renaming the file - using less than 8 characters in the new name - did the trick!
