ok whenever i try to run a certain application i have it gives me this error. "H:\PROGRA~2\LIMEWI~1\GTASAN~1.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." and when u click ignore, the error just pops up again.please help me. i am in diar need.!!!!!!thx :-/ winxp......and limewire......wellThis seems to be an increasingly frequent problem. It would be interesting to know the cause.

To fix run the following from the command prompt:

copy c:\windows\repair\autoexec.nt c:\windows\system32

After you copy the file, find it in Windows Explorer, click properties and lock it down by giving it a read-only attribute.

Merlin is right, PnP programs like Limewire, Kazza, and Bit Torrent are an invitation to numerous problems. But hey, it's your machine.

Hope this helps.hey i registered now and i did wat u said or what i thought u said. :-/ i went to c:windows\repair\autoexec.nt and then i copied and pasted it into the system 32 folder. is that rite? and then i went into properties and put it as read only. then i opened that file that wasnt working b4 and now ms-dos went into the file and then for 3 seconds its good then in the blink off an eye it says "program to big to fit in memory" so then i went into the file IM trying to get to work and put that as a ready only. i dont no if thats rite and the same thing pooped up. so sidewinder or some1 else help me out a bit. im a [emailprotected]@b

PS. i also have 100 GBS of memory on my hardrive.so wat does it meen the the program is to big to fit in memeory?!?!What OS is this? How much RAM do you have and what program are you trying to run?

Get back to US. i have a dell demension 4600

512mb of ram
2.66ghz
100gb of memory

and the program i am trying to run is a dvd rip of gta san andreas that i dl-ed off limewire
it runs off ms-dosI found the game specs and your system appears to be ok. Where did you get the idea this game runs in DOS? The specs mention you need DirectX 9c which is not a DOS add-on.

Try running the game in Windows. I'm pretty sure that's what it was designed for.

Use Limewire or any PnP program at your own risk. ok well if it doesnt run in ms-dos (wich it keeps on running in) how do i change the program it runs off of because i cant change the program it runs off of because u usually go to properties then click change to chnage the program but there is no change. it just runs off ms-dos and i cant change that. well if you can, tell me how to run it with windows and i could get this done a lot quicker if u just aim me or msn me. my aim is Hellraven1110104

PLEASE HELP!First up, please do not use all CAPS. It comes across as shouting and is considered rude. Next, please don't tag your post on someone else's. It's better to start your own post...less chance it will get lost.

Please give us the exact message you're getting from these apps. Most but not all 16-bit programs (DOS) work perfectly fine with Windows.

Get back to us.
