16 Bit Subsystem - File To System32
Apr 16, 2005
I've tried to reload a couple pieces of software that used to run fine. I get this error message In top left hand corner of error window it says 16 bit Windows Subsystem Then lower down it says: C:windowssystem32autoexec.nt. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose "Close" to terminate the application. I have Windows XP and both programs (Microsoft Home Publishing and Canon Zoombrowser) had worked fine for a couple years. For the heck of it I even dragged a copy of the above name file to system32 to see if that would help. It didn't.

Last night while watching the news, my computer rebooted all on it's own way over on the other side of the room and now I have the following error message. Windows could not start because the folowing file is missing or corrupt System32/drivers/ntfs.sys. I will boot up if I try several times but even after doing a system restore I get the same message plus sometimes I get Windows could not start because the folowing file is missing or corrupt System32/drivers/pci.sys

I have been getting Norton (Corporate, installed by someone else) notificatons for a few weeks about a Trojan (cache.cachekit) and Norton could not get rid of it. Now I cant boot up and it tells me my file(System32/system/config) is missing or corrupt. I was thinking it was my Trojan I couldnt get rid of, what do you think? Also, my OS was installed by someone else so I didnt have my own disk, however I have ordered one and it should come in a week. If it is my elusive Trojan, for one, how do I get rid of it for good, and also, when I get my disk I dont know exactly what to do to fix the computer. I cant bring it up in safemode either. I have never installed a OS, but I have installed other software-on a properly functoning computer that is. Do I absolutely have to wipe my hardrive clean, and if so, how do I do it?

I can't start Windows XP Home Edition on my PC because the hal.dll file in system32 is corrupt. Therefore I am getting the "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: <windows root>system32hal.dll. Please re-install a copy of the above file." error message. To complicate things, I absolutely don't have the original Windows XP Home Edition CD I used to install the operating system; therefore I can't just restore missing file.

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: <windows root>/system32/ntoskrnl.exe Please re-install a copy of the above file. That is the error it comes up with. It will not even boot up to Windows. There's not really much I can access with Windows not booting.

Well, reciently I've discovered that my C:WindowsSystem32 folder is gone. Just gone. And it seems that any time a program tries to open something in that folder, it just pops up and says that the file is missing or whatnot.
1. The files are still there. I can access them through IE by typing in the dir in the address bar.
2. The folder is supposedly "Hidden," but I have it set to view all hidden files and folders.

We made the mistake of ordering Dell pcs for work (Never Again & we advise against it!) because they do not include Windows OS disks with the units. They include it on a partition of the HD: (-nice of them). Now one system will not boot up and it is completely out of the question to restore the system to it's original factory setting because of the monetary value of the files that will be lost.
Technically, all it's missing is the WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/... file(s) and on any "normal" pc, popping in the WinXP disc on boot and hitting "r" usually solves that problem. However, F5 and booting the system at its last working condition does not work. Thanks to Microsoft's security features, we cannot use another XP disc to fix this problem. And I will never contact Dell's support line since they've tried to charge us for technical support before they'd give us any help. And this was on a brand new pc that we just purchased. (For some reason did not boot up and they wanted to charge us in order to get it started! - Main reason I will NEVER purchase a computer from Dell ever again.... no CD's is the 2nd reason.) Anyway, the only option we have is to take it in for servicing or place the HD in a second pc.

My problem started when I booted my computer. Windows (XP Home Edition) started with the message that windows/system32/config/system.sav was missing or corrupt. It told me to use the recovery console to solve the problem. I saw with the recovery console that the system.sav file wasn't missing so it had to be corrupt (0 bytes in filesize).

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: /windows/system32/config/system
It states that I can put in the originial setup CD-ROM and select 'r' to start repair but that doesn't help me. My laptop did not come with a windows cd as I bought it preloaded from BestBuy. So about 4 years ago when my computer was overcome with the Sasser worm, I reformatted and loaded a friend of mine's Win XP Pro cd on my laptop. I still have the CD but when I hit 'r' (Boot partition recovery) it does its little DOS thing and then gives me a Disk I/O Error. I am thinking that maybe it is trying to boot from a floppy drive and not my CD drive and thats why I am getting the I/O error?

I am getting the following error and it loops: "file is missing or corrupt windows root system32 hal.dll" When I try and run the windows cd and either wipe or repair the error it tells me that the "the setup did not find hard drive disks" Now I am thinking the hard drive is defective?? Or do I have a virus?

while logged into Windows, the IDE cable that is connected to my HD went bad. I double checked this by replacing the cable and seeing if the BIOS could see it, which it could. When I tried to log back into Windows however I got this message. Code: Windows could not start becuase the following file is missing or corrupt:WINDOWSSYSTEM32CONFIGSYSTEMYou can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the orginal Setup CD-ROM.Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair.I'm not sure how this works. Do I hit 'r' at the blue screen after it loads all the drivers or do let it setup and I will get a chance to choose a repair option. The error only effects Windows. I know for sure because I have a Linux partition that works fine. I have my orgainl Windows XP CD- ROM. Does anyone know the steps to fix this? Windows XP SP2 (Fully upgraded)(CD-ROM is the orginal XP SP1 disk)

my file windows/system32/config/system is corrupt. it says i can boot with the CD and use the "R"epair function. I do that and it takes me to DOS where I can roam around my harddrive and the windows CD. now how do I find this file to replace it? because on the windwos CD there is no "system" file in the directory I386/system32/config/. I've tried to copy it from my other computer, but since it's using the file I cant'!

I know somewhere this has been answered. Unfortunately, I can't find the solution and I'm at my wits end.When I boot my computer (just started about a week ago) I get the following 3 messages: 1 Title of boxed message is 16 Bit MS-DOS Subsystem:
A. Inside this box it says C:Docume~1MikeSt~1Locals~1Tempvcrxfile.exe.The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction. Choose close to terminate the application.
B. I close it and then I get another similar message with after Tempmssjfile.exe. I close this application and get a third message.
c. After Tempsylgfile.exe. I close this application and the computer is fine and working okay.I've tracked the files to be located in my Temp folder %temp%, and I can delete them, but once I reboot the computer, the automatically come back. I've tried even in safe mode, but no success.I havn't loaded any new programs, but like I said it just started after downloading some Microsoft updates.
