Title: running 16bit on 32bit system winxp
Post by: MayerWeb on February 11, 2005, 01:23:14 PM

Hello! I have winxp home and bought some software. On install the error 'windows/system32autoexec. file not suitable for running MS-DOS and microsoft windows applications.' Comes up. I have config, autoexec and command already copied into the win32 file. What else do I need to do to run the software. I need simple directions. I have been told many conflicting things. Anyone who can help, THANKYOU!

What happens it you navigate to the
C:\WINDOWS\REPAIR
folder
Copy Autoexec.nt from that folder and paste it too the
C:\WINDOWS\System32 folder

Restart your computer just in case

Any luck?
