I've been running 200Pro now for about 6 months with no
problems - until a week ago. Now when I try to run some
simple games, I get the following - "16 bit windows
subsystem" C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32|CONFIG.NT This system file
is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows
applications. Choose close to terminate program.
The only thing I can remember doing was I cleaned out a
bunch of temp files (which I have done before)and then I
got this problem. Thinking maybe I got something that
wasn't supposed to be cleaned out, I restored the temps.
No help. I just don't know much about OS's anymore. Can
someone set me straight? I know it's got to be something
simple, but I don't even know what to look for in the
Knowledge Base Thanks in advance! Cathy
