I have some old(?) games on my Win95 PC that I wanted to transfer to my new WinXP PC. These are teh solitaire card games Cruel and Golf. When I tried to run the game, I got the following error message:
 
One of the Library Files needed to run c:\games\whatever.exe cannot load in the 16-bit Windows subsystem because it is a Win32 DLL.
 
Are these games lost forever? Is there any way to get them to run under WinXP?
 
Thanks,
