Windows XP will allow you to use the "Compatibility" section under the "Properties" tab of any ".exe" file so as to allow older 16 bit programs to run correctly.
- Right-click the application's executable file
- Choose "Properties"
- Select the "Compatability" tab
There you may select the programs recommended settings.
It goes without saying that XP also supports 32 bit application.

Windows XP, NT, ME back to 98
It uses a Virtual Machine to run 16 bit apps and runs 32 bit applications normally.
