Need Help

[jp232004]

Everytime I try to install a dos game or even a game that was made for Win 98 a box pops up that says 16 bit Windows Subsystem C:\Windows\System32\Autoexec.nt. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS amd Microsoft Windows applications. Choose Close to terminate the application. I was wondering what that means and what i can do to fix it. Thanks for your help

Well, seeing the traces of autoexec.nt I would say you use Windows XP or NT. If the game was made for Windows 98 only there shouldn't be that problem. But with the Dos games it's a different thing.
It seems that you try to run the Dos game(s) through the Expanded-button in the PIF configuration (whatever this might be the right name in English). Forget that with the config.nt and autoexec.nt. You're much better off to play the Dos games through DosBox, which you can get here: http://www.abandonia.com/main.php?nav=programs
There's a readme.txt file included in the package that should explain the most. If you have still any problems, feel free to ask of course. ;)
