    my dos error
    I try to install a software but my computer say there is error:
    16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe
    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

    My computer system:
    Microsoft Windows XP
    Professional
    Version 2002
    Service Pack 2
    Can you tell me what I should do? Thanks.if you need ,I will try to upload full registration entries of my computer or the folder :C:\WINDOWS\repair.
    here is entry of autoexec.nt file I use notepad to open it:
    @echo off

    REM AUTOEXEC.BAT is not used to initialize the MS-DOS environment.
    REM AUTOEXEC.NT is used to initialize the MS-DOS environment unless a
    REM different startup file is specified in an application's PIF.

    REM Install CD ROM extensions
    lh %SystemRoot%\system32\mscdexnt.exe

    REM Install network redirector (load before dosx.exe)
    lh %SystemRoot%\system32\redir

    REM Install DPMI support
    lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx

    REM The following line enables Sound Blaster 2.0 support on NTVDM.
    REM The command for setting the BLASTER environment is as follows:
    REM SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 P330
    REM where:
    REM A specifies the sound blaster's base I/O port
    REM I specifies the interrupt request line
    REM D specifies the 8-bit DMA channel
    REM P specifies the MPU-401 base I/O port
    REM T specifies the type of sound blaster card
    REM 1 - Sound Blaster 1.5
    REM 2 - Sound Blaster Pro I
    REM 3 - Sound Blaster 2.0
    REM 4 - Sound Blaster Pro II
    REM 6 - SOund Blaster 16/AWE 32/32/64
    REM
    REM The default value is A220 I5 D1 T3 and P330. If any of the switches is
    REM left unspecified, the default value will be used. (NOTE, since all the
    REM ports are virtualized, the information provided here does not have to
    REM match the real hardware setting.) NTVDM supports Sound Blaster 2.0 only.
    REM The T switch must be set to 3, if specified.
    SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 P330 T3

    REM To disable the sound blaster 2.0 support on NTVDM, specify an invalid
    REM SB base I/O port address. For example:
    REM SET BLASTER=A0

    And here is my config.nt file:
    REM Windows MS-DOS Startup File
    REM
    REM CONFIG.SYS vs CONFIG.NT
    REM CONFIG.SYS is not used to initialize the MS-DOS environment.
    REM CONFIG.NT is used to initialize the MS-DOS environment unless a
    REM different startup file is specified in an application's PIF.
    REM
    REM ECHOCONFIG
    REM By default, no information is displayed when the MS-DOS environment
    REM is initialized. To display CONFIG.NT/AUTOEXEC.NT information, add
    REM the command echoconfig to CONFIG.NT or other startup file.
    REM
    REM NTCMDPROMPT
    REM When you return to the command prompt from a TSR or while running an
    REM MS-DOS-based application, Windows runs COMMAND.COM. This allows the
    REM TSR to remain active. To run CMD.EXE, the Windows command prompt,
    REM rather than COMMAND.COM, add the command ntcmdprompt to CONFIG.NT or
    REM other startup file.
    REM
    REM DOSONLY
    REM By default, you can start any type of application when running
    REM COMMAND.COM. If you start an application other than an MS-DOS-based
    REM application, any running TSR may be disrupted. To ensure that only
    REM MS-DOS-based applications can be started, add the command dosonly to
    REM CONFIG.NT or other startup file.
    REM
    REM EMM
    REM You can use EMM command line to configure EMM(Expanded Memory Manager).
    REM The syntax is:
    REM
    REM EMM = [A=AltRegSets] [B=BaseSegment] [RAM]
    REM
    REM AltRegSets
    REM specifies the total Alternative Mapping Register Sets you
    REM want the system to support. 1 <= AltRegSets <= 255. The
    REM default value is 8.
    REM BaseSegment
    REM specifies the starting segment address in the Dos conventional
    REM memory you want the system to allocate for EMM page frames.
    REM The value must be given in Hexdecimal.
    REM 0x1000 <= BaseSegment <= 0x4000. The value is rounded down to
    REM 16KB boundary. The default value is 0x4000
    REM RAM
    REM specifies that the system should only allocate 64Kb address
    REM space from the Upper Memory Block(UMB) area for EMM page frames
    REM and leave the rests(if available) to be used by DOS to support
    REM loadhigh and devicehigh commands. The system, by default, would
    REM allocate all possible and available UMB for page frames.
    REM
    REM The EMM size is determined by pif file(either the one associated
    REM with your application or _default.pif). If the size from PIF file
    REM is zero, EMM will be disabled and the EMM line will be ignored.
    REM
    dos=high, umb
    device=%SystemRoot%\system32\himem.sys
    files=40

    Thanks for help me.

    What exactly are you trying to install.

    It looks like its an older piece of software that isn't supported by XP, best idea would be to try and fine the XP version.
    As MS-DOS no longer exists in XP you're not going to be able to install via this route.
