Having 16 bit subsystem problem

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

I recieve this message in a 16 bit subsystem window when i try to install a
game onto my pc. the message is.....
C;\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXE.NT. The system file is not suitable for running
MS-DOS and microsoft applications. Any help to resolve this problem so i can
install cd's(games) would be of great appreciation thanks.


thanks, jt
