    I have a 16-bit program that had been running smoothly in Vista. Then all of a sudden, every time I tried to run the program, the following window would pop-up:

    I did a bit of research and managed to find a very simple solution. There were others that included very intricate steps, the one I found was very straight-forward, I think it included a file I had to run or something like that.

    The 16-bit program worked perfectly for a while, but today the same config.nt problem poped-up again. I need some help trying to find that easy way (or a diff. one, I don't care) to fix this problem. Anybody?

    Thank you,

    C.

    The step were you needed to run a file would probaly be the best, Because the error says your missing a file. try 32-bit

    I don't understand your response. If I had the file I wouldn't have posted a question and if the program were a 32-bit app, I wouldn't have the problem.
