Like a lot of other people on this board, I am getting the error message.

 title: 16 bit windows subsystem
   "F:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT.The system file is
not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows
applications. Choose close to terminate the application."
with th options "Close" & "Ignore"

.ignoring dosen't do
any good, and close doesn't either. I first got this message last week while
trying to open Cannon Zoombrowser for downloading & viewing pictures from my
camera. I have had this program for 2 years & never had a problem opening it
before. I unistalled the program & tried reinstalling it but got the same
error when I tried that.
I tried doing both things in the Microsoft Knowledge base 324767 but neither
worked. the second part of the article said to locate the Command.com file
and I could not find that either.
I did not change anything or install anything new before this happened.
Why is it suddenly happening now? And
has anyone been able to fix their problem yet?
