Win16 Error Message

[Guest]

I had to uninstall some software programs along with my Epson C80 printer and reinstall them. I did all of these from the Control panels uninstall program. As this removes the programs, messages come up saying the following file may be used by another program. I may have deleted some files that should have stayed on the system. All reinstalled programs as well as the printer are now working fine as is the computer

I do have a problem though in that I can't install any programs from some install disks that I was able to use previously. When the disk is inserted the install will not start and I get a system error message that reads as follows.

“The Win16 Subsystem was unable to enter Protected Mode, DOSX.EXE must be in your AUTOEXE.NT and present in your PATH.â€

Any help to correct this problem would be appreciated

It would be great if you'd not cross post, as opposed to making these post
over and over again because you don't get answers right away. If you need to
post to more than one group, add those said groups to the address window,
and then learn patience, otherwise, be screwed!

I've never posted here before and I thought these groups were all seperate. I picked the three groups that I thought would most likely lead to a response. I am very patient and I certianly want to follow the established rules
Thanx Randy
