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
