SUBSYS
RE:DOS SUB-SYSTEM ERROR - Windows XP or Windows 2000 or Windows NT
IF you're receiving an error: ERROR: 16 bit MS-DOS Subsytem
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The System file in not suitable for running
MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows Applications. Choose 'Close" to terminate the
application.
It indicates that one of your Windows files is damaged or missing
You want to put a copy of the file AUTOEXEC.NT from the REPAIR folde
under the Windows folder into the SYSTEM32 folder under the Windows
folder.
To fix this:
Click START
Click RUN
TYPE: COMMAND
Click OK
(if you get an error trying to run this COMMAND program
see Mouse Instructions below)
Below note the part C:\WINDOWS\ may need to be changed
to C:\WINNT\ - you'll know if you need to if the error
message you see on your screen starts with that.
At the C:> prompt type:
COPY C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT C:\AUTOEXEC.BAD (press Enter)
(should say 1 file(s) copied)
COPY C:\WINDOWS\REPAIR\AUTOEXEC.NT C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 (press Enter)
(answer YES if prompted to Overwrite)
(should say 1 file(s) copied)
EXIT and press Enter
Try Shop-Pro again.
