Re: 16 bit window subsystem



Hi David,
Not sure if this is the same error, but this is what I get trying to use a
sketch program It ahs been working fine for about a year then .....

16bit windows subsystem ERROR

C:\windows\system32\autoexec.NT.
The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS & Microsoft Windows
applications.
I want to try your AUTOEXEC.NT Fix Method 1:
However I have no clue where to get the info that you mention
copy; c:\windows\repair\autoexec.nt
to
c:\windows\system32

what, were and how PLEASE....
I purchased this E-Machine from Best-Buy and I didnt get a XP program
disk..just the E-machine's recovery disks..
Thanks in advance for you time and patience
