How Do I Install.......

[Guest]

I have a computer game called Black Hawk Down : Delta Force, when I put the
CD in and click on Install it always comes up with
SYSTEM ERROR : The Win16 Subsystem was unable to enter Protected Mode,
DOSX.EXE must be in your AUTOEXEC.NT and present in your PATH.
What does this mean and can anyone tell me how to solve this problem please?

This installaton program will reinstall the missing or corrupt Windows XP
system files command.com, autoexec.nt and config.nt. The absence or
corruption of one or more of these files causes a "16 Bit Subsystem" error.

Also, AVAST (antivirus software) can be the cause if you
have WinXP SP2 installed:
