That's a bummer. Microsoft discontinued support for 16-bit Windows apps in the 64-bit versions of Windows starting with Windows 7.
That's not a big deal to most people, but for some, like your mom, it can be an annoyance.
I have a ton of old 16-bit Windows apps that are still enjoyable to use.
For those who have old software like that, I encourage people to find a new system with a 32-bit version of Windows 7 or 8. They exist, but are not easy to find.
