RE: 16 bit problem



insert windows xp cd

1) go to start, then run, type in cmd and press enter

2) at the command prompt, type in cd\ and press enter

3)at the basic c:\> prompt, type in each line below; where "drive letter" is
the letter of the cd drive where the windows xp cd is located. press enter
after you type each command.

expand "drive letter":\i386\config.nt_ c:\windows\system32\config.nt

expand "drive letter":\i386\autoexec.nt_ c:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt

expand "drive letter":\i386\command.co_ c:\windows\system32\command.com

4)once this is complete, type in exit and the command prompt window will
close. restart the computer and try to open the application.
a possible cause of this problem is that the files we expanded from the cd
had become corrupted. by replacing them with the files from the cd, the issue
should be resolved.

let me know if it works, good luck!
