This is because Mathcad 4.0 for Windows is one of the first of the new "32-
bit" windows programs and needs to have the "Win32s" subsystem installed on a
particular machine for it to run. 
If you look at the machine it was installed on, you'll see a new subdir under 
the \windows\system directory called"win32s". This subdir contains most of 
what's needed to run a 32-bit windows program, but there are a couple of 
DLL's in the \windows\system dir (with "32" in their names: W32SYS.DLL and
WIN32S16.DLL), and a new line in SYSTEM.INI under the [386enh] section:

device=C:\WINdows\SYSTEM\WIN32S\W32S.386

Copy the win32s subdir and the two DLL's, make the change in SYSTEM.INI, and
you should be in good shape. HTH
