Hi Evanescent_Poetic_Justice08,
Here's an easy method to solve that error:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_m.htm#16bit
If that doesn't correct the issue, try this manual method:
1. Browse to C:\WINDOWS\repair
Right-Click and Copy the file named: autoexec.nt *
2. Browse to C:\WINDOWS\System32
Right-Click in that window to Paste the file
(Answer yes if prompted to replace existing file)
* Note: If the file autoexec.nt doesn't exist on your system
right click the link below and select the "Save Target As.."
option to save the file in C:\WINDOWS\System32

| I get the message:
| 16 bit Windows Subsystem
| c:windows\system32\autoexec.nt.
| The system file is not suitable for running MS DOS and Microsoft
| Windows
| applications. Choose 'close' to terminate the application.
|
| I've tried installing a DOSBox, but it did nothing for the game. I
| Believe it is a Windows 98 system and It should work - I've installed
| The Sims on that particular computer BEFORE.
| I now have the Sims 2 on that Same computer, and no longer need that
| program. Therefore, I thought I could re-load The Sims onto this
| computer. It is an HP with an Intel processor. It is a 32 MB or higher.
| It has a DirectX 4.0 or 5.0 compatible video card. It also still has
| "Install Wizard" on the computer. No installation program allows this
| game to be installed. The reason for this is incredibly peculiar. A
| year ago I still had the Sims on the computer I am speaking of. Then I
| got the Sims 2, and removed it. This computer is FOR SURE compatible
| with the Sims running system requirements.
| THe only thing that may possibly have thrown off the system is moving
| the computer from the downstairs level of our home to the upstairs
| office. I feel that this may have done something, however the
| installation thing should still be located on the computer. It installs
| the Sims 2 perfectly fine on the same computer. As well as the other
| games, including Livin' Large, will install on the same computer.
| Something must obviously be wrong with the settings on teh computer. I
| have it set on a 16-bit true color, and have tried 32-bit true color:
| neither of which work.
| When I installed the DOSBox, the same error came up. I cannot seem to
| understand why all of hte other games will load, but not that one. It
| is not on the computer allready, either. The errors that come up for
| the other games (when they start the Installshield) is "No other
| versions of The Sims found on this computer". So...My question is why
| won't JSUT THIS GAME load? It is the original Sims game. It is in it
| case, and hasn't been removed or scratched. I have the original box,
| but it is about 6 to 7 years old, so the warranty has run out. I need
| to know if it is just my game or if it is my computer...and if it is
| the computer, what we can do to fix it.
| I am hoping that someone can help me, because this is getting no where.
| My father and I have both attempted installing the game, and it is not
| working. I wish to learn the dilemma soon.
| Thank you very much for your time and help, I wish to know this as soon
| as possible.
| Thank you!
| -Taylor
