I have got such problems with my XP Home taking 5 mins to boot, and 75% of the time refusing to boot with STOP ERRORs that I am thinking of formatting and trying again.

I might - just might - opt to install Vista but I have one big worry: I use Fireworkz for Windows as my word processor and spreadsheet, all my archives are in its format and I don't want to stop using it. However, it is a 16 bit program.

Will 16 bit programs run under Vista?

TIA
