16 BIT problem

[DarkAngle]

I have a problem with my dell.

When I try to play a older program such as star wars jedi knight: dark forces II and sid myer's alpha centuari, I get this pop up that says "This program is not suitable to be run on a MS-DOS and Windows application. I says something about 16 bit I think. A dell I have that is a year older, does not have this problem, and this computer has just developed it. How can I fix it?

Thanks,

need more information... in particular:

 

what OS on BOTH systems (the one that runs it and the one that doesn't), what CPU on BOTH systems?

Try going into your display properites and changing the colour depth to 16-bit.

I think I've heard of this before. Try googling the exact error.
