Cannot Open some folders

[Guest]

Dear Sir / Madam
since the 11th December 2004 I have found that if I try and set up some ms
dos programs that I cannot open the install or run programs. I get an error
message which reads:
in blue header.... 16 bit Windows Subsystem
and then error message reads....
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.

I try ignore and close and nothing happens. This has just recently been
happening and I have had this problem before on another PC. It is very
annoying as I cannot install programs or open some which are on the hard
drive, which previously were no problem to open...
Please cpould you advise what I can do to rectify this.#
Yours Faithfully Dvae P Markey

If you are trying to do these things from the command prompt, you might try
going to Start-Run and type in "command". This brings up an older version
of DOS which is more compatible with some of the older DOS programs. It's
worth a try anyway.
