I have a cd rom that is really old, and I tried to run it, but nothing happened when I put it in the cd drive. I know that xp does not run 16-bit memory, but I was wondering if there is a downloadable thing that would allow me to run the disc. If this helps, the cd rom says, " MS DOS ISO-9660 " Thanks zman |

Your best bet is to either run the CD on another machine that isn't 64-bit, or run it in a Virtual Machine running 32-bit Windows. You can use the free Virtual PC to create a VM that you use for running older programs that won't work properly in 64-bit Windows. I've got a little VM of Windows 98 that I can fire up when I need to. It doesn't take much in the way of resources, and gives me easy access to a couple of older programs I still like to use. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel "zman" <zman@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:B3A1FDF1-2A31-4E1E-95DB-3F0988B31E69@microsoft.com... >I have a cd rom that is really old, and I tried to run it, but nothing > happened when I put it in the cd drive.
