64-Bit Operating System Cannot Run Many x86 Applications or Programs
How can I let the 64-bit operating system run many x86 applications or programs?
I was trying to run one x86 program recently, but it closes itself after I open it.

It depends on the program - especially how old it is and whether it's compatible with Win 10.
What you describe is typical of needing to run it in compatibility mode (rt click its shortcut or exe file, click Troubleshoot compatibility).
Another possiblity is a BEX error - see your Reliability History and look at the relevant red X.
That would suggest you need to add it to your DEP exception list.

I have a bit of the experience with the compatibility mode options in Windows 10.
For the BEX error part, I will look into it.
I found out that DEP (what almost everyone is speaking about) is old-school and useless.

Thank you very much for replying.
Should you get a BEX error it's still worthwhile trying adding the DEP exception- else find a current version or replacement fo the program. Else ditch it. Yes, it's a historic kind of error.
What is the program in question?
URL for it?

Here is the .exe file that I am trying to run. Also, the .exe file has a Japanese language. The question that I have is this. What is required to run this .exe file?

Umm, sorry, I'm not going to download something from an unknown source whose name I don't even know.
Go to its home page- look at information on
- age, current support, dependencies
Might need a particular version of C++ run time (usually delivered when installed); .Net framework (I came across a new variant of that with something from MS recently), and I suppose there may be language-related issues.
Then there are possible compatibility issues as I mentioned if it's an older program.Last edited by dalchina; 08 Jun 2020 at 00:41.

The .exe file's source is Pokesho.
The birth of its website is October 11th, 2008. So, the age of its website is 11 years, 7 months, and 16 days.
As for its current support and its dependencies, I am not exactly sure.
I do know that the .exe file requires these files.
"This game is for Windows only. Not supported by other operating systems.
In the case of Vista/7, if Microsoft Office IME 2007 is the default Japanese environment, the game will not start.
Change the default IME when playing a game.
They say DL is a quick way to do Google Japanese input."
Since I have Microsoft IME 2010, where can I find to get Microsoft IME 2007?

It looks as if you're simply trying to run something that's far too old. It may or may not run- it's that simple. If you can find any precedent for people using it under Win 10, you might have a chance.
Here's how you could do it:
Run e.g. Win 7 (which it mentions) in a virtual machine under Win 10. Then you can install it under an O/S wiht which it should work,
Virtual machine: if you have Pro, then there's Hypervisor. Otherwise, you can try VirtualBox (free) - run that and install Win 7.
Thus you have Win 7 running in a Win 10 window.

Of all the application types games are among the most problematic with regards to compatibility. Many well behaved applications dating back to Windows 95 run well on 64 bit Windows 10 with no compatibility settings at all. The key word being "well behaved". Many games are not.
Game developers frequently resort to tricks that Microsoft has specifically warned against because they may have compatibility issues in a more recent OS. They often make unwarranted assumptions about the environment in which the game will run and if this changes in a newer OS it will often fail. In some cases the application is so poorly designed it works on the OS it was designed for only because of some fortunate coincidence. It is not present in the newer OS and the application fails.
I have no solutions beyond what has already been suggested.

I have a Hyper-V VM available for testing, so unlike @dalchina I'm prepared to download and test unknown software as I can test it safely inside a VM.
The tests show that this .exe has 16-bit code in it so it cannot be run in x64 Windows 10. But it will open and run in x86 windows 10. That's as far as I can go because it also asks for DirectSound, which is not available in this VM.
The only way to run this in x64 Windows 10 is on a 32-bit virtual machine. Sound is only available in Hyper-V for a Generation 2 VM in Enhanced mode, but a 32-bit OS requires a Generation 1 VM and so cannot use sound. VMWare Player or Virtualbox may allow the host machine's sound to be used by a 32-bit OS.Last edited by Bree; 08 Jun 2020 at 10:34.
