Hi,

Error message when you install or start an MS-DOS or 16-bit Windows-based
program
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=324767

This should help resolve this common problem. Basically, you will have to
expand new copies of command.com, autoexec.nt, and config.nt to the system32
folder from the WinXP CD or I386 folder on your hard drive. Sometimes, you
need to create new ones and overwrite the existing ones - the method is
described in the article.

Hi,

Then you can replace the files from ones housed in the store folder, usually
C:\Windows\I386. Also, before beginning, hit ctrl+shift+escape and end
ntvdm.exe and wowexec.exe on the processes tab, they will interfere if they
are running (they are part of the 16-bit subsystem).
