I HAVE SEVERAL OLDER 16 BIT GAMES THAT HAS ALWAYS WORKED ON
MY WIN XP PRO SYSTEM .
NOW IF I CLICK TO START MY HOLDEM GAME IT SHOWS AS A 16 BIT
WINDOW SUB SYSTEM AND SHOWS A BOX WITH C:WINDOWS\SYSTEM 32
\AUTO EXEC.NT AND SAYS IT CAN NOT RUN DOS PRODUCTS
HAS MICROSOFT UPDATED SOMETHING ON MY SYSTEM TO MAKE IT STOP RUNING THE OLD PROGRAMS. I LOADED THE HOLDEM GAME ON MY SON'S
COMPUTER AND IT STILL RUNS GREAT. ANY IDEAS I WOULD APPREATE
YOUR HELP HATE TO STOP USING OLD GAMES. THANKS HACATAC

First of all, stop the capital letters.

Second: Try to do Right-mouse button on the .exe
select Properties and somewhere in that window should be a possibility to mark how the program should be run.

DOS is not run on 16 bits, but on 8 bits.... 16 bits is unix-like or maybe the latest DOS< but I wouldn't know anything about that DOS 6.7

Download the xp-fix from the following page:

windows xp 16-bit subsystem error

sorry for the caps thank you

[gerryf]

there are some programs out there that erase certain windows xp files that are required for the the 16-bit subsystem to run--you can replace them manually, or you can use that file to do it automatically.

Those are all windows xp native files...nothing third party.
