I am trying to install older software from learningco
called Solitaire Antics onto XP or to 2000. In always
gives a "16 bit Windows Subsystem" message that reads in
part, "An application has attempted to directly access
hard disk, which is not supported".

How can I overcome this?
 
Hi,

In general, you can't. WinXP doesn't allow direct hardware access sometimes
required in old software.
