Hello Everyone.

I'just tryed to play some old Games like Gabriel knight the beast within an others like that but i just cant install it!!!
A message of windows 16 bits subsystem apears, Config.nt. The file system cant run MS-DOS and windows Aplications.(resumed)

So, i Taught maybe the game was to old to play but i just tryed on other computer (new) with same system and it runs without problem. And i Have read many forums with people who installed and played this game without this issue.

Im triying to find why is it happening, or wich aplication is causing this. I just checked the config.nt on the other machine and is exactly the same.
So what can i do?? have I to format my pc to have a clean windows again? or theres a way to identify and solve this problem???
Thanks for your time!!!
