Cyurihsung · 04-15-2009, 06:47 PM

I recently bought this Japanese video game, and whenever I put the disc in and double click on setup.exe, either nothing happens, or I get a message saying something like "Can't run 16-bit Windows program. Insufficient memory to run this application. Quit one or more Windows applications and try again." I don't think it's the fact that the video game is Japanese, seeing as I've purchased many other Japanese games and they all work just fine and I've got all the east asian language files installed and settings and locals set to Japanese. I'm not sure if it's the disc's problem, it works on my friends computer. Also, everytime I shut down my computer, the setup picture pops up and the InstallShield box pops up in the lower right hand corner, but obviously nothing else happens seeing as my computer then shuts down. Help, please?
