HELP MOI !!!

I had this problem awhile ago I downloaded something can't remember what it's called. I'll have a look on my PC when I get home from work

You do not say what Windows you use - ME/2000/XP ???
The Autoexec.nt file is often used to fire up MS DOS but not always.
Used to be done by the old Autoexec.bat file.

Here is an extract from the Autoexec.nt file -

"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."

The answers could be that the applications are not 32 bit or MS DOS

You could always try the Compatabilty settings for the application.
Can you pull out the applications PIF?

BTW - would you care to answer my 'JVD - your repaint is ready M'lud'

I use XP pro.

BTW - would you care to answer my 'JVD - your repaint is ready M'lud'

I'm not to sure what you mean because I replied but if you didn't get the message i'll be happy to send another.

Re 'JVD Your repaint....' - as you can see there is no reply from you in the post trail. I would very much like a reply. Or did you reply by other means?

Re Application failure - with XP you can right click on the application exe file and chose properties and a window will open with options regarding Compatability use the help facility for what to do.

JVD - What DaveC is saying is that there is a posting he's left for you on a separate forum that you hadn't replied to. He was letting you know that he's finished working on a repaint for you. 😉

Ok thanks GPS Kid.

Thanks David - it must be my Scottish accent 😂
I think I have sorted it out via PM - it is just as well that I am a complacent, even tempered, patient old Scottish liar 😉

I'm not as computer literate as some of you guys so could explain what the "PIF" is ❓

PIF - program information file
It is a bit old fashioned now and often not used - a legacy from Apple programs when you had to run programs from a 5" floppy.
Should your applications have a PIF - then my bet is they are too old to run on Windows/MS DOS.

(((I bought a relativly new program but when ever i try start it up, i get a message saying "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications)))

I am not an expert, but I do know that some programs are particular as to what version Windows it needs to run.
Have a look on your Program box (if you have still have it) and it will tell you what version is needed to run your programs.
It also sounds like you have NT running on your system and not one of the more common Windows versions. Maybe you should upgrade to Windows XP and it may give you more flexibility with running programs. Remembering that a lot of programs also prefer the earlier windows versions such as Windows 98 etc.
It's just one of those annoying things that programmers don't make their programs more flexible for use with any Windows Versions.
Anyway, jsut check which version the program needs to work and go from there.

Well you see that's my problem, ever since I got XP [I update it often] certain programs wont work [e.g. Ejay 1 and PrintMasterGold].
