    I was running win2000PRO, installed my vinyl plotter software and all was good. A year later had to reformat the HD , reinstalled 2000PRO and now I can't install the software.

    I did switch from FAT 32 to NTFS ??? Does NTFS not recognize 16 bit apps?

    I keep getting a message that says:
    "Unable to run 16 bit application "
    "Insufficient memory, close windows programs and try again "


    I have 128 MB RAM, I know whimpy, but previously seemed OK to run everything. I close everything I can and still keep getting this message.

    At the same time that I reformatted my computer I also did the same to a spare I have. Both NTFS. The other computer has very few apps. installed, same RAM so I thought I'd try to install on that one. "Same message ".

    This is driving me nuts, as the logic of how I was able to install the app. originally and can't now "does not compute ". LOL

    Any help is appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Jake
