| on every startup i get an error saying;
|
| 16 Bit Windows Subsystem
| C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT The system file is not suitable for running
| MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the
| application.
|
| then there is 2 buttons, 'Close' and 'Ignore', neither of which have any
| effect and once either is pressed error goes away and computer boots
| normally. Now i am getting the same error when i try to install a program
