Install error for some games, & when ROA AE start is attempted

[Guest]

Hi,

I have XP ProSP2 installed, now when I tried to install Tacyon(beyoiound the
fringe) or other games, from that era, including:

Microsoft Return of the Arcade Aniversary Edition I get a strange error
message:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16 Bit Windows Subsytem

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT.
The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and M9icrosoft Windows
Applications. Choose 'close' to terminate the application.

Close Ignor
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That always appears in a popup box, if I try to run my ROA AE, or try to
install some older games. I tried compatibility mode, I searched for the file
it is in C:\WINDOWS\Repair
folder, and a few other places, but not in the SYSTEM 32 folder.

Why is this happening, and what can I do to fix this?

I've run CHKDSK and Norton's Disk Doctor, they ran, and now they state the
volume is clean, but the error still occurs everytime.

I fix hardware for a living, and while I can fix many errors in Windows from
98-through XP pro, I'm not so good with these advanced windows errors

Thanks,

Jay C

Hi Mary,

Thank you so much, that worked perfectly, & all these games are either
installing, or running as expected...

Kind Regards,

Jay C

P.S. Any Idea why this might have happend to my OS's, the files in that KB?
