x-byte Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 I have downloaded the free version of GTA. But I can't get the installation to work. It says it can't run 16bit windows program. Have anyone managed to get it to work on XP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokkolm Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 Try booting into the command prompt and then open the .exe file for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay C Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 I think there's something like an OS Emulator sorta thing built into XP, that you have to change in order to play games that only operate on older systems. SOrry I can't remember exactly, but I've read about it quite a few times in magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
