Okay, here's the info you requested:
- These are all 16-bit Windows apps, propably written with
C++ (?).
- Not one of them starts or runs. Not even a process
appears on Task manager or other process inspector utility.
- There must be something wrong in my 16-bit subsystem
(NTVDM.EXE etc), because even the wowexec.exe gives the
same error message and won't execute. The error message is:
Error message title: "[PATH]\process.exe"
Message: "[PATH]\process.exe" \n "Attempt to access
invalid address."
That's all, no error address, no error number (it's 487
Windows system error).
- I will try to compare my system files to ones I got in
my work computer, if I find something.
- I don't know exactly what caused the errors, but atleast
I cleaned some viruses from my computer and didn't use 16-
bit software for a couple of days.
- I tried changing the *.nt setting, with no effect.
Eyesterday I updated windows, uninstalled apps and so on.
I got my system functioning a little better, but 16-bit
apps still aren't running. There's only one lousy Paradox
for Windows app I really need... :(
