Davor Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 this error isn't saying that the application is 16-bit as far as i under stand it. If it was it would run. What it IS more likely saying, is that the exe is corrupted.Btw, as far as i can remember seeing GTA2 is looked 3D using directx? And it's not that old... seems to me it is a win32 app.GreetsDavor

coconut Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 you have a regular xp installed or one that was nlited? (may have removed 16bit support) also application layer gateway service must be running for certain 16bit apps. might just be corrupted as davor suggested
some1_genius Posted September 4, 2005 Author Posted September 4, 2005 alsalamu alikum ...coconut this happen at any windows xp or 2000 at any computer but not with windows 98/Meand thanks for replying and i hope more.Moustafa
coconut Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 then maybe its an MZ executable and is a DOS based game
hoangtbhp Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 you dont shouldn't try to run this application. It'll crashout your system soon
Davor Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 You should best go to the publisher's support website and look there for further info in faq's/knowledge bases ... and if you find nothing, contact one of theirs support representatives...GreetsDavor
