You need to accept responsibility for some of your problems. You could

have bought a 32-bit machine which would have run the 16-bit software

with no problems. We still run 16-bit software here so that is a

requirement for those people when buying a machine. The 16-bit software

is getting phased out and then, like everyone else we, will just move on.
