I’m trying to install a couple of dictionaries on my TR5, but I can’t succeed in doing so. The installation procedure either gets stuck with the program no longer responding, or then the installation is possible, but the program won’t start.

These are 16-bit programs originally developed for older systems than XP. Using the compatibility tool in properties won’t help either. I suspect there is a problem with the registry, but I don’t feel like tampering with it unless I’m really sure what I’m doing.

Any ideas?

Some older 16-bit programs may not run at all…especially if they were programmed to access hardware directly. This is the case in a lot of older software that used their own interfaces and needed to access the video hardware.

What are the names of the programs? Perhaps there’s some other work around.

Sorry, that was me - forgot to log in once again…! :oops:
