The original EccoPro 4.01 is 32-bit program. Only the Installer has a 16-bit header. Check on your XP Pro operating system first (click on Start -> right-click computer -> Properties) if your OS is the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version of XP Pro. Microsoft will discontinue security and other updates this Spring. In any case, I would recommend to upgrade your operating system to Windows 7 or Windows 8. If you would like to hold on to your settings and all installed programs without re-installation, a time-consuming hassle, and the need for new license keys, I would recommend using a commercial migration program like "Zinstall WinWin" (*http://www.zinstall.com/technology/how-zinstall-winwin-works*). We tested it, it is worth it.
