this probibly won't work. but give it a try.
right click on the program icon. click on properties then find the
compatibility. there is the option to make it think it is running under another
version of windows.
with windows 7 it can be set back all the way back to windows 95.
depending on the drivers the programs are useing it still might work.

Subject: trying to run 16 bit programs in 64 bit seven
I decided to upgrade to an hp machine that is windows seven 64 bit. I'm
finding that many of my favorite programs won't run as they are 16 bit
versions. I have an old dos version of pc braille that I still like and
use and would run it under 4nt in 32 bit seven or xp command prompt with
no problems. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions. I did a bit of
searching and see there is a 64 bit program I think called dos box which
says will run some dos programs. Has anyone used this and is it usable
with speech. Does a person have to run vocal-eyes for speech?
I really don't want to give up these programs. If I had to, would a 32
bit version of seven install on this 664 bit machine which is an hp z 220.
Thanks.
If you want you can write off list to
but...@shellworld.net
or but...@fairpoint.net which will show up as from tiny puppy.
