16 bit Subsystem Error Instead of expanding the autoexec.nt from the c:\windows\system32 folder like Microsoft recomended, I created a new folder and expended the file to the new folder. THEN, I copied it over to the system32 folder. Let me take you through the steps... First, I openned the command prompt. Click, Start, Run, type cmd When the command prompt openned, I went to the root directory type cd\ the prompt will change to C:\> Next, I made a new directory called "AUTOEXEC" md autoexec Put the Windows XP CD in. When it launches, click "Exit" Now, you're going to do the following from the command prompt. Type d: press <ENTER> The prompt will change to D:\> Next, type cd\i386 and press <ENTER> The prompt will change to D:\i386> Use this expand command to expand the autoexec.nt file from the CD to the new directory.. expand autoexec.nt_ c:\autoexec\autoexec.nt After you've done that, go to Windows Explorer, go to the autoexec folder. If you see the autoexec.nt folder, you're cool so far. Copy the autoexec.nt file to your C:\Windows\system32 folder You should be able to launch that 16 Bit program now. Now, I discovered another problem... Everytime I rebooted the computer, the file would delete itself from the system32 folder... Wierd, huh? So the last time I copied the autoexec.nt file to the system32 folder. I went into the file's properties, and made it into a Read Only file. That way, rthe file couldn't delete itself. The error hasn't come back |
