Trouble loading son's game... keep getting error message.. PLEASE

[Guest]

I have Windows XP and I have been trying to load a game for my son. The game
loads fine on the laptop so I know that the game is ok but the following
keeps coming up after I go to run, then type the usual D:\setup. No
installation comes up only the following..

up at top: 16 bit windows subsystem
c:windows\subsystem32\autoexec.nt
the system file is not suitable for running ms-dos and microsoft windows
applications.

Can anyone give me any info. I am a bit computer illiterate.

thanks
