Can't remove old game files.

[Guest]

I'm having trouble removing old game files, one in particular that is causing
an error message during start-up. I'm not very computer savvy, so please
bear with me. The message I get appears at the end of the start-up process,
after the desktop and all the icons have loaded. It says, "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." I then have two choices, either 'close' or
'ignore'. I've traced this message back to a game we'd installed for the
kids. When I try removing it through the 'Add/Remove programs' option, I get
the same error message. The uninstall program included with the software
doesn't work, either.

I don't know if this is hurting the performance of my system, but I'd like
to get it removed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
