When I try to open one of my software programs (which has
previously worked fine) I get this message "16-bit Windows
Subsystem c:\windows\system321autoexec.nt. The system
file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft
Windows applications. Choose close to terminate." I
tried to re-install the program but encountered the same
message when trying to install it. I also have been
getting two error messages when I restart my computer:

#1- "NT On-Acces Scanner has encountered a problem and
needs to close"

#2- "Error loading bridge.dll spec. module can't be found"

I don't know if the problems are related. The start-up
messages have been occuring for several months and have
not seemed to cause any problems. The 16-bit message just
began about a week ago and is causing a big problem.
