Greeting to ALL,
Few days ago, after downloading some upgrades from Microsfot my
system developed some problems running older programs ( which worked
OK previously ).
The message : "The Win16 Subsystem was unable to enter Protected Mode,
DOSX.EXE must be in your AUTOEXEC.NT and present in your PATH".
This problem has been widely discussed on the Net but I could not find
any solution other then suggested in all other posts which
unfortunately don't work for me.
My Autoexec.nt, Config.nt, Dosx.exe, Ntvdm.exe, Command.com, himem.sys
are all in the right places. I expanded all the files from Windows XP
Pro with SP1 CD-Rom.
I can run cmd, but can't command .com. I have checked the contents of
Config.nt and Autoexec.nt. They are OKand have all the lines correct.
Checked the PATH in Environment Variables, everything there is OK.
I run the latest Kaspersky and Norton 2005 AV. I run Spy Sweeper v.3
and Trojan Hunter.
I have just run out of ideas.
Has anyone have any solution. I live in Poland, Microsoft Tech.
Support there, sucks ! You people, are my only hope.
Thanks, Marek
