Re: Is there anyway to run 16-bit apps on Vista 64 bit?
No direct way - the support simply isn't there. That being said, using a
virtualization solution (VirtualPC, VMWare, whatever) on your Vista host and
running a legacy operatng system in the child VM is a viable solution. There
are even workarounds for USB here (See my blog post on FabulaTech.)
I've covered this in a couple of blog posts as a reasonable solution to any
compatibility issue. Your 16 bit applications will have access to normal
networking communications with the host machine, but in most solutions not
drag and drop between them.
