Well i've just downloaded the file and it works perfectly. It may be that
the file has somehow got corrupted. Try downloading it again. When you click on the .exe file that you downloaded you should first get an option to 'run' the program. After clciking the run button you get the User Licence agreement and then a command screen for creating the floopy disks. -- John Barnett MVP Associate Expert http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org The information in this post is supplied "as is".

Click Start, click Run, type c:\windows\repair, and then click OK. 2. Right-click autoexec.nt, and then click Copy. 3. Click Start, click Run, type c:\windows\system32, and then click OK. 4. Right-click anywhere in that folder, and then click Paste. 5. Right-click the Autoexec.nt file that you just copied, and then click Properties. 6. Click to select Read-Only, and then click OK. Note You must enable Read-Only permissions or the file will be removed after you restart Windows. Here are a couple of sites with alternative solutions to this problem: Download XP_FIX.EXE http://www.visualtour.com/downloads/default.asp 16-bit MS-DOS Subsystem error while installing or running a DOS application http://windowsxp.mvps.org/16bit.htm From what I can gather, this problem is becoming a common occurrence. It looks as if some sort of spyware/malware may be at the root of the problem. For that reason, you might want to run a scan with an updated antivirus program. You should also download, install, update and run the following antispyware programs: AdAware http://www.spychecker.com/program/adaware.html Spybot S & D http://www.spychecker.com/program/spybot.html Good luck Nepatsfan |
