AUTOEXEC.NT Problem

[Guest]

Hey all, just today I have had the same problem with 2 fairly old
games...when I try to run setup files to instal them I am told:

"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
apllication.

Close Ignore"

No matter which option I chose the box closes and the game doesnt load.
Anyone got any ideas please?

Thanks for any help.
Al

Hi Al,

You can solve that problem by replacing the file:

1. Browse to C:\WINDOWS\repair
Right-Click and Copy the file named: autoexec.nt

2. Browse to C:\WINDOWS\System32
Right-Click in that window to Paste the file
(Answer yes if prompted to replace existing file)
