RUnnijng a 16 bit app...

[Brad Pears]

I have a simulator that I would like to run on my XP machine. Problem is
it's a bit older and the systems supported are Win95, WIn98 and NT. When the
setup starts up, a message as follows is displayed...

"c:\windows\systems32\autoexec.NT. The system file is not sutiable for
running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications."

Is there anything I can do to run this or am I pooched on my XP machine?

Thanks,

Brad
