Are you running any programs at the time ?

Windows is now 32 bit (win32) and Win16 is 'old code', are you perhaps running an old game or other old program at the time. 

Have you installed an old program on your PC ?

Yes I have installed a financial program that I have successfully run on other PCs. Downloaded latest version from Internet so should be up to date. Only other old programs recently installed are Sunday Times crossword Programmes, but these are allworking OK.
