dos

[Guest]

I am trying to run dos programs on my Windows XP Home Edition. They were
running o.k. at first. But now I can not run any of them. I always get an
error message:
16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem

Command Prompt - cosmo1
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 keep trying to click on the 'Ignore' button but the program/application
still keeps terminating even when I click the 'ignore' button.

is there any way I can fix this?

Thank you very much.

Regards,

Jay

Take your old computer you were going to throw away and load dos on it. Use
that for you antiquated programs.
