Running x86 apps on x64

[Buttergoose]

Hello, here's my problem, I downloaded a program to calculate some stuff for my moped, when I try to run it says that it is not compatible with an x64 OS (here's the actual error)

It pretty much says that the program is not compatible with x64, is there any way to emulate an x86 OS so I can run this program?

I'm not entirely sure if this is possible, but there's a program called Virutal Machine (VM).. which you could run x86 Xp or something in...

I think it's a paid program however.

are you sure there's no 64bit version of the program?

As far as I know, 64 bit windows can't run 16Bit applications, It can run 32 Bit apps.

VMWare is a paid program, however you can use VirtualBox which is free. Though that isn't specifically the problem.

EDIT;

Curious what do you mean by 'calculate some stuff for my moped', however?

Ugh, his language confused me + I was tired..

This is correct.

x64 has no support fo 16bit, 32bit did however.

I imagine he means fuel economy.
or maybe torque or something....

Whatever it is, I imagine it can be done with a more modern program.

Yup, you're trying to run a 16bit program there. You could try running it in DOSbox though.

Calculate stuff like how an homemade exhaust should be like, based on everything that is on the moped.

Thanks anyway guys, I've got an old copy of XP that I can dual boot with so I can run the program.

Didn't see that it was a 16-bit application at first.
