I am running windows xp home, sp3 on a Geteway desktop with a pentium 4. A while ago, after doing and un-doing a system restore, I am now getting and error message everytime I boot up. In front of a larget DOS window there is a smaller gray error window that is tiiled '16 bit MS-DOS subsystem'.
View 1 RepliesI installed a program from then net (recommended by a friend who uses it with no problems) and when I rebooted,the HD made a strange noise on shut down.When it did reboot,a window came up stating "16 Bit Windows Subsystem"..."C:windowssystemautoexect.nt...The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Windows applications.Chooses Close to terminate the application."
Any ideas as to what happened?And how I can fix it?

The first one is when i try to install something sometimes a error box comes geaded "16 bt MS-DOS Subsystem" and it say C:unzippedfips20fips.exe, C:PROGRA~1SymantecS32EVNT1.DLL. An installable Virtual Device Driver failed Dll initialization. Choose "close" to terminate the application.

View 1 Replies View RelatedInstead of getting the graphical splash screen with the blue dots moving from left to right across the screen before the user login screen presents, I am able to select Linux and boot up properly there. Each OS is on its own hard disk. I had earlier saved off each MBR in case I ever had a problem with it. I have checked the MBR for the WinXP disk (i.e. the 0th (1st) sector) on the disk consisting of 512 bytes. It checked out OK with no binary differences, so I am confident that there is no problem with the WinXP MBR or the partitions in it. Obviously there is a problem after control is transferred from the WinXP MBR to bootup WinXP.My strategy now is going to be to run the bootcfg /rebuild command from the Recovery Console after checking out the boot list from the bootcfg command - if I can get that far with the Recovery Console.I do not seem to be able to get into Safe Mode or the Advanced Options screen selection by pressing on the F8 key. My boot.ini file was edited OK and had an extra line to boot into Safe Mode, but that does not work now.
So, my theory is that if all was working as before OK, I should be getting the selection to boot into Safe Mode vs normal bootup with the changes I made to the boot.ini file. Since I am not getting that and experiencing the problem as described above, I am assuming that something is out-of-kilter with the boot.ini file.Also, my last shutdown in the morning yesterday went Ok. What I was doing before I shutdown for lunch was shredding files - everything went OK with no apparent problems, but I wonder whether something went adrift without being noticed and corrupted some files on my system - notably, the boot.ini file - at least this is what I suspect.Anyone see a problem with what I have in mind to do or have a better idea how to fix this problem?
As my XP computer boots up an error message flashes by and then disappears and the computer continues to boot. All seems well. Im fairly sure its from a prior program, Acronis something or other that I deleted. It was a program similar to Norton Ghost for backing up and rebooting in case of emergency that gave you the option to press F11 during boot up if you wanted to it use it in an emegenecy. Anyway, how do I edit it out of there? It drives me nuts. I also think both my boot time and shutdown/restart times are slower than what they were or should be.

Please contact Microsoft Product Support Services to report this error.There is nothing in the knowledge base at microsoft for this. If anyone can give me some pointers or a possible direction to go in I would appreciate it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAn odd thing has started to happen recently with my PC.On booting up, just before Windows (XP Pro) starts to load up, I get theerror message:
"KEYBOARD IS LOCKED OUT - UNLOCK THE KEY"
The compter then waits for me to press the F1 key to continue loading
Windows, and once Windows is loaded everything is fine. I know the keyboard
itself isn't faulty as I have tried two other keyboards and the same error
appears. I have tried switching from USB to PS2 and again the same error
appears.I have tried updating the BIOS on my motherboard (ASUS P4S533 Bios Ver 1011)
and that has not fixed the problem.
Every time I boot up I get a blue screen that says I have a a disk error, but I can cancel the test. If I let this run and let it start testing, It responds with "unspecified error" after a second or two. I have manually run the disc checking on all HDs. No errors found. Is this some kind of a joke, a virus, or distraction so some malware can load?

1) regedit.exe - The procedure entry point PrintDlgexw could not be located in the dynamic link library comdlg32.dll.
2) hpppt.exe - This application has falied to start because WNASPi32.dll was not found. re-install application may fix problem and last but not least
3) The procedure entry point PrintDlgexw could not be located in the dynamic link library comdlg32.dll
