I have a dual boot system with Win 98 and Win XP Home. I have been running
one Win 3.1 program (Calendar) and three DOS programs in DOS windows on my
computer in Win XP without problems. All of a sudden they will not run: I get
the following error message with Calendar:
“16 bit Window Subsystem
D:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for
running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose ‘Close’ to
terminate the application.â€
With the other programs I get the error:
“16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem
D:\DOCUME~1\DRE~1.PAU\Desktop\(program).pif
D:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for
running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose ‘Close’ to
terminate the application.â€
I don’t understand why this has suddenly happened on this computer. How do I
go about troubleshooting it?
