Hi guy's.

I'd appreciate some help here.

I keep getting this message which stops me running two of my favourite games:

(Header Title) 16 Bit Windows Subsystem
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT.
The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOSand Windows applications.
Choose 'close' to terminate the application.

The alternative button to 'close' is 'ignore' but both just close the message.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

All the best.

Bucky.

Hi Ricky.

Thanks very much for your amazingly quick reply. I haven't tried the fixes
yet but I'm sure you've pointed me in the right direction.

Thanks again and all the best.

Bucky.

Go to: www.google.co.uk and put in "AUTOEXEC.NT", your answer is there.
basically you have to extract the original files from the CD and it
should then work.
