Win 16 Subsystem error

[Guest]

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this but here goes:
I have an application that I've been running for years and recently, while
the program is running it ends or when I try to start it I get:
"The Win 16 Subsytem has insufficient resources to continue running. Click
on OK, close your applications, and restart your machine."
What might be causing this to happen? and what must I do to fix it?

Thanks in advance for any help or ideas

First try:

You might also try the following from:
http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:...ufficient+resources+to+continue+running&hl=en
(right at the bottom of the page)

I went to the executable, right-clicked it, and clicked the
compatibility tab. I put a check next to "Run this program in 256
colors". After I did that the program runs fine. I just changes the
display to 256 colors while the program run, and then puts it back to
the normal setting when I close the program.

If neither of these work, then it's time to find a much later edition of the
program. It sounds like it was written for Windows 3.1.
