Re: 16 Bit Error

Clean out your Temporary Internet Files.

To delete *all* of your Temporary Internet Files...

1) Start | Run | Type: inetcpl.cpl | Click OK
Or right click the Internet Explorer icon on your Desktop
Or Start | Settings | Control Panel | Internet Options
Best to do this with all instances of Internet Explorer closed. Especially
if there are a large number of files. Also close OE.
2) On the General Tab, in the middle of the screen, click on Delete Files
3) Check the box: Delete all offline content {This cleans >>
%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
AND
%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5
and \Content.MSO (Created by an MS Office program)}
4) Click on OK and wait for the hourglass icon to stop after it deletes the
temporary internet files
5) You can now click on Delete Cookies and click OK to delete cookies that
websites have placed on your hard drive.
6) You can also click on the Clear History button to empty your History
folder.

Also clean out both Temporay folders.

Start | Run | Type: temp | Click OK

Start | Run | Type: %tmp% | Click OK

A strange problem has happened to me and I am at a loss as to how to fix
it. I am a disabled vet and am also an amatuer weather watcher. I use a
perogram called Storm Predator on my computer and have been for quite some
time. I recently downloaded an update for it and tried to install it.
However, when I try I get the following error:
(Header of the message) 16 Bit MS-DOS Subsystem
"C:\Documents and Settings\....\Local Settings\Temp\ A tem[porary filed
needed for the initialization could not be created or could not be written
to. Make sure the directory path exists, and that disk space is
available."

The path does exist, and I have plenty of hard drive space available.

I went to the Microsoft Knowledge Base and tried replacing the
Autoexec.nt; Command Com; and config.nt files as they suggested, but I
still get the error.

I downloaded from Kellys Corner (I believe it was called) a file named "XP
Profiles.EXE"...still nothing.

I tried running chkdsk /r with no results....

I did a Windows XP Pro repair....

I use Trend Micro Internet Security Suite and it is always up to date. I
did run a full scan in safe mode....

I ran Spy Bot Search and Destroy in safe mode (with the definitions
updated)....

I ran Kasperskys on line scan for trojans....

Cleaned out all temp files and junk....

I also tried running Ad-Aware that "was" installed on my computer.
However, when I went to run it, I noticed the executible was missing!
(Very strange) I went to Lavasoft's web site and downloaded another copy
of it, but guess what? I can't install it because of the 16 bit error I
keep getting.

I spend a lot of time at my computer and could really use some help
solving this mystery.

Please, any suggestions would be more than welcome as I have tried just
about everything I know.

Thanks so much!

My Computer:
Windows XP Pro w/ SP2
I gig RAM
120 Gig HD (with approx 64 percent of that space available)
