Windows Forum / Windows XP / Games / July 200516 bit Windows Subsystem Message
When i try to install games like Max Payne, and Need for Speed a message comes us saying" 16 bit windows subsystem C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose Close to Terminate the application. It does this for any game installation that i have.
