16 Bit Subsystem Start Up: No C:WindowsRepair Folder On HD
Aug 23, 2005
I am running Window XP Pro and for some time have been getting the following common error message:16 bit Windows Subsystem C:WindowsSystem32Autoexec.nt The system file is not suitable for running MS DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate.(Clicking on 'Close' or 'Ignore' has no further result)I have read of similar problems requiring the file to be restored into the directory from a Windows Repair folder, but there is not one on our machine. I have searched for it with all files shown and know it has never been deleted. Is it possible a virus got rid of this?

The registry on one of my computers is corrupt and if I try to copy the files from the WindowsRepair folder using the windows system repair tool, I'm told the files cannot be found. One possible solution I thought of is using the registry files from my other computer running Windows XP. I don't even know if this is possible, but if it is, how can I transfer the files. I would put them on a CD but the CD drive won't open when the system repair tool is running, and they're too big to fit on a floppy disk, even one at a time (the system and software files are both over 2mb.)

I would like to add several folders under the Run command on the right of the START menu. I used this tweak (below) of Kelly's to add one folder there. But If I run this tweak again it replaces the first folder with the new one.I thought I might be able to make the changes by hand so I tried to understand the code of the tweak.

Wwhen I start my computer up my Kazaa folder pops up along with all my regular start up programs. I had uninstalled Kazaa, but this folder keeps appearing at start up. Tried to change my normal startup to selective by checking it off, but it still shows up.

I want to add a FOLDER as a shortcut in the MAIN part of the start menu. I would prefer it be where "My Computer", "My Documents", etc is, but I would settle for where "Internet" and "E-Mail" currently are. I can successfully add apps to that area, but not folders. I basically just want to click the start menu, click on the folder, and have it open up.

My friend's computer is getting some pretty weird things going on. She says that the System 32 window will appear every time she boots up her machine. It started after her husband got caught surfing the web for porn. An AdAware scan didn't fix it and going to a previous Windows System Restore point didn't work either.

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.

I recently moved out on my own and though I'm fairly knowledgeable regarding my laptop and its programs, I am not that familiar with repairing problems. I am having a consistent problem with system 32 folder popping up everytime I turn my computer on. I had this problem one other time and managed to trouble shoot my way out of it. But this time, try as I may I cannot get the darn thing to stop. I did bring up the I did the ctrl, shft & esc all at the same time and brought up my task manager and the first thing I noticed was that there were three things listed. The first was a foxfire logo followed by the words for whatever I'm searching for. like now it says tech Support Guy Forums - post new thread....Running. Under that is a square followed by the word Address, under that is another box followed by the words Quick Launch. I'm not sure what to do to get rid of the consistent popping up of system 32. It's just an irritating little sound and action.

I accidentally made a duplicate? startup folder? on my desktop from my start menu to the desktop. The copy on my desktop works the other (in the drop menu) does not. If you load a program in the start menu? startup folder? upon re-boot it will not start the selected program. My question is how do I delete the? startup?folder in my start menu? When I try it will not allow me to do so. This whole thing isn?t causing any problem. It?s just starting to grate on me.

WinXP uses Documents & Settings as the default folder to store downloads, Word files, etc. How can I make another folder the default, so that when I start to download a file, it automatically opens MyDocs New. I know I can change the defaults on Word, Excel. but I want to change WinXP.

For some reason when ever I start up the folder "system32" appears on my desktop. It's not a big deal it's more annoying than anything but I'm sure when I go to START UP what uncheck to stop this from popping up everytime.

I have XP SP3, and have recently discovered that when Restarting the system, after logging on, Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird automatically run. There are no shortcuts for them in the Start Up Folder, and they do not start automatically after a complete shut down/fresh start -- only after a restart. After they're up and running, everything works normal.
