When I try to run a windows 3.1/95 program on winme, I get this message saying that the program is not a valid win32 application. Does anyone know how to configure my computer's setting to enable it to play windows 3.1/95 programs?

There may be an emulator, look on Google.

Best bet is to get an old 486 for them.

Its probbably caused by the file becoming corrupted at some stage, eg sitting on a floppy for 5 years.
