Game installation problems...

[Guest]

Earlier a friend lent me a lot of games, but when I try to install the lot of
them, before it opens setup (or while it is, I should say), it stops and
comes up with an error titled "16 bit Windows Subsystem", which reads
"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" with a Close and Ignore button. If I hit Close, it closes, if I
hit Ignore, it closes. I need help! Must play Unreal Tournament and Half
Life!

Hi Saber,

You can solve that problem by replacing the file:

1. Browse to C:\WINDOWS\repair
Right-Click and Copy the file named: autoexec.nt

2. Browse to C:\WINDOWS\System32
Right-Click in that window to Paste the file
(Answer yes if prompted to replace existing file)
