Suddnely Cinemania won't work _ NTDVM.EXE???

[john smith]

Hi,
After two years of working perfectly suddenly my copy of MS
Cinemania (or any
16 bit program) will not run on my XP machine. I get a button window
labeled "16
bit Windows Subsystem". The message is
"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." And then
two buttons,
Close and Ignore -- either of which close the window.
A Process Monitor shows that NTDVM.EXE is being run to show this
message --
and keep the Cinemania from running.
Does anyone recognize this condition? Is it a windows problem, or a
virus or
trojan, or what? Thanks.
