Software installation problem

[Robin]

I have recently installed XP over Me. Cannot load software
such as Palm and Quicken. When I restart error msg
reads 'The request to end the selected 16 bit task has
timed out. The WIN 16 subsystem may be unstable'. I also
receive 'End program - WOWEXEC'.

In addition, the PC will not recognise USB attachments.

Grateful for your assistance.

Thanks for that-not sure I understood it though.
