Tried compatibility mode?

Explosion!
Virtualized computing or dual booting are your only options here if compatibly mode fails to work.

Do you have a 64-bit OS and a 16-bit game? If so theyre inherently incompatible... try VirtualBox if its not DirectX or whatever. This is the main reason I wont upgrade to 64-bit. I still play 16-bit games

Yes I have the 64 bit edition of Windows Vista. The game i wanted to play is Neverwinter nights and its expansions. I remember playing it on my old computer which used windows xp but this computer can't run it. It says this version of windows does not support it or something when i run the game.

Theres a way to check if its 16-bit (which is what Im suspecting) but I dont remember it. I think one of it was (this worked in XP, not sure about Vista) is to check the file properties to see if there was a version tab.\
Heres my question (for my web dev assignment. I cant figure it out): I want a certain cell in a table to have a background color of FFFFFF. However its XHTML so I cant use BGCOLOR (I think that was deprecated) and the teacher wants me to do it in CSS. I tried to do it with a class but I could not get it to work. Can someone give me suggestions?
I attached the zip file with the CSS and the page. (the reason its in folder Root is cos thats supposed to be the root directory. I know its kinda dumb.).

Why does my computer keep locking itself, as in, I go away for a few minutes, and when I come back, I see the login screen?
I have screensavers disabled. What can I do to disable the self-locking?

Vista & Windows 7 are still built on 16 bit mistakesDo you have a 64-bit OS and a 16-bit game? If so theyre inherently incompatible... try VirtualBox if its not DirectX or whatever. This is the main reason I wont upgrade to 64-bit. I still play 16-bit games
Do you understand?
then I signed with my name, sorry I was chatting with my Chinese pen pal while writing, brain doesn't switch so fast
Yeah, that was Sen. Ted Stevens
Check your power options, and make sure "Prompt for password when computer resume from staqndby" is unchecked.
Nope.

Not since win98SE they haven't. Since Win2K the OS has been based on the NT line rather then DOS.
Where does the 260 character file problem come from? Windows Explorer and Command Prompt balk at them. I ran smack into it while tweaking a Civ IV mod, needless to say I wasn't amused
Ever run out of GDI objects?
That damn DLL loading flaw? discovered like 12 years ago... Waiting for Redmond to snap it's back fixing it and maintaining backwards compatibility

That has nothing to do with 16 bit code. It has to do with Microsoft being Microsoft.

They've all been in since 16 bit to preserve compatibility
64-bit versions of Windows have no 16-bit compatibility.

It's unchecked, but it's still doing it. Problem is, the laptop doesn't even go into standby or sleep or hibernation at all.

My sister's computer is unbearably slow, so I'm thinking of donating some RAM from my old computer since I've got extra. Is there any way to know ahead of time if it will be compatible or not? I don't think the two machines are terribly different, one is an Intel Pentium 4 from 2003 running XP and other is a AMD Anthlon X2 running Vista from about 2006.
