Re: [racebase] 16 bit MS-DOS subsystem error

[Ian Davies]

Is this problem anything to do with the option of selecting FAT or NTFS file systems when installing Windows XP?  I don't quite understand why one must choose, but apparently it's something to do with running older 16-bit files along with newer 32-bit files.  I've suspected that I chose the wrong one when installing Windows XP, and now I can't remember which one I selected, whether it's significant, and whether it can be reversed if I set up the wrong one!  Oh for the relatively simple days of MS-Dos, or better still, CPM.   ian ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter Harrop To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 28, 2004 3:34 PM Subject: [racebase] 16 bit MS-DOS subsystem error 2 people using Win XP have reported an error in the last 7 days when trying to run racebase. They have previously been running it with no problems, but now comes up with :   16 bit MS-DOS subsystem c:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt The system file is not suitable for running MS-Dos and microsoft windows applications.   There is quite a bit on the net about this error. Like at : http://www.computing.net/windowsxp/wwwboard/forum/116679.html   Apparently this is some sort of trojan virus. You can fix the problem by copying the file autoexec.nt from the c:\windows\repair folder to your c:\windows\system32 folder. If you get this problem and need help to fix it, give me a call. 07 8248231 Peter. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ADVERTISEMENT Yahoo!
