Kia ora, Every time I try to play a cd rom this message appears
'16 bit windows subsystem
C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/AUTOEXEC.NT
The system files is not suitable for running MSDOS & Microsoft windows
applications..'
I am unable to burn to cd either.
When I turn the computer on, the 1st message I get is
'Error loading C
rogram files/Wildtangent/Apps/CDA/cdaEngine0400.dll'
Was wondering if system restore would fix all these problems? I don't want
to lose my music. Cheers.

Wild Tangent was a nasty parasite that has been removed leaving traces
of what was trying to run it. Consult a forum on such things: Parasites
- Adware, Spyware & Other Scumware:
http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=28
and maybe other forums on that site
As to the first point, copy the backup of autoexec.nt from
Windows\repair into windows\system32
On the CD: Are you trying to burn with the inbuilt burning, or some
third party package? And what happens when you try?

Hi
When I try to run any older programs my systen gives the same message. It
used to be ok. Not an expert but I figure for some reason the system hs lost
the facility for 16 bit functions. Any answeres to how to get that back ?

Error message when you install or start an MS-DOS or 16-bit
Windows-based program

Also can be caused by a Trojan installing a file windupdater.exe and
creating registry entries for that file.

AVAST (free antivirus software) can be the cause if SP2 is installed:

You can put back the standard version of autoexec.nt by copying a backup
copy held in windows\repair to windows\system32.
