16 Bit apps

[Guest]

When I try to load a program into Windows designed for Windows 95 I receive
this message "C:Winnt\ysytem32\autoexec.nt The system file is not suitable
for running MS-DOS and Microsoft applications. Choose Close to terminate
application." The program will not load. Is there any way to get these
programs to run in windows XP.

Hi akaChubo,

Create a new autoexec.nt file and save it to the \windows\system32 folder.
Click start/run and type notepad, then click ok. Copy/paste the below code
into it (instead of typing it in to prevent errors), then click file/"save
as". Navigate to the C:\Windows\system32 folder, change the "save as file"
type to "all types" and name the file autoexec.nt, then click save (if
prompted to overwrite the existing one, do so).

@echo off
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\mscdexnt.exe
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\redir
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 P330 T3

Hello again,

Forgot to mention that you need to reboot when finished.

I am having the same problem and am successful at all steps until I get to: "
Navigate to the C:\Windows\system32 folder, change the "save as file"

type to "all types" and name the file autoexec.nt, then click save."

I am going to Windows\system32 folder through windows explorer but am lost
from there....I am clueless as to how to find the "save as file" part.
Please help!!
