Error message in XP Home

[Tony]

Hi, I've been running an old Win 95 card game in XP Home
for the last 12 months with no probs. Now when I try to
run the game I get the following message :

16 BIT WINDOWS SUBSYSTEM
C:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt.
The system file is not suitable for running MsDos and
Microsoft Windows Applications

My son uninstalled a game which was running in Win95
compatabilty mode just prior to the prob' occuring. Could
a file have been changed or removed?

Hope someone can help. Happy New Year to all

Tony
