Jessica's post of 25/08/05:---- <<<< Recently, when my kids try to play some of their games, they get this message: 16 bit Window Subsystem C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEMS32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. We then have the options to cancel the application or ignore it. No matter what we choose, the games will not run. A month ago, these games ran fine. Can anyone help me with this?>>>> It appears that the "autoexe.nt" file has somehow been corrupted. The following microsoft knowledge base article should help. (item 3 of the "symtoms" ) http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;324767 But the fix seems to be a longwinded one.
