Error on Installing program

B

Brandy

This is the 2nd program i have came across that i have
gotten this is the last 2 days. The first was Nortons
2004 the 2nd is the update for my chipset drivers.

16 Bit Windows Subsytem
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The file system is not
suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows
applications. Choose 'close' to terminate the
application.

Any idea what this is or how i can install these programs
around this problem?

Hi. I dont know the way around this problem but the reason
you are getting that measage is because your file system
is formatted to NTFS rather than Fat32 like windows 98
etc. Dos cannot work in NTFS
Sorry i cant be any more help. short of looking on the
sites you want like norton and down loading in a
different setup that runs on NTFS

Sorry but your response makes absolutely no sense.

It can be symptomatic of a malware infection or see this knowledge base
