I am trying to download a couple of programs and I am
getting this message:

"The Win16 Subsystem was unable to enter Protected Mode.
DOSX.ex must be in your Auto Exec NT and present in your path"

If someone could explain what is wrong and explain in a
simple manner how to get rid of this problem, so I can
download a program, I would be happy.
Thanks.
Pat
