i downloaded 'wingames' from the microsoft website, which
includes tetris, cruel, chess, freecell, etc.

error message...

16 bit Windows Subsystem

suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows
applications. Choose 'Close' to termintate the

Hello, Len,
Chances are, if you're running XP, it's installed as NTFS not FAT32. FAT32
is the file system for Win95, 98, and Me. To check go to My Computer, open
it, right click on C: and look on that window to see. Normally NTFS and FAT32
will not clash, however, some software will cause a problem. Is the software
compatible with NTFS? (Check the computer requirements documentation)
