16 bit subsystem?

[calister]

How do I fix this

16 bit windows subsystem-
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT.
The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and
Microsoft windows application. Choose 'close' to
terminate the application.

Something has added a line to it which should not be there.

Edit it with NotePad. It should contain - apart from many comment lines
starting REM - just

REM Install CD ROM extensions
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\mscdexnt.exe

REM Install network redirector (load before dosx.exe)
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\redir

REM Install DPMI support
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx

And possible SET or PATH lines
Remove anything else by turning it into a comment, adding REM and a
space as shown in the above. And please note what they were and report
back - this is happening a lot and I would like to find out *what* has
got added

Which I find one of the really nastily convoluted KB articles, so I
prefer to give a direct comment. But I would like to know what it is
that seems to be getting at autoexec.nt like this - there seems to be an
epidemic of it

I see. Will add your notes as well, Alex. Hopefully someone will answer.
Thanks for the reply. )
