Can't Install PageMaker

[tom o'connell]

Recently I encountered a problem with my PM6.5, so I
decided to reinstall it on my PC. I am running Windows
2000 Pro. When I try to open the installer I get the
message "The Win16 subsystem was unable to enter Protected
Mode, DOSX.EXE must be in your AUTOEXEC.NT and present in
your PATH.

I have read the solution on the microsoft site (article
168925), but do not know how to find the .pif file. When
I explore the disk, no file has this extension that I'm
aware of. How can I change the executable name if I can't
find it?

Can anyone tell me how to correct this problem? I need to
use my PageMaker!

Thanks
