Solve : Windows XP sp2 does not run DOS based programs? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>I had to revert to an old scanner while my scanner is being repaired, so I loaded a Windows 2000 driver in a compatability mode as I did before for this scanner that does not have an XP driver. Soon after, I could not run the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/cmd-920083" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CMD">CMD</a>.exe file and got a message "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." <br/>It appears as if my computer thinks it is running windows NT. I removed the scanner driver and related software. No change. I ran system restore four times at various points and failed to restore. otherwise all programs run fine except one that gives me the same message as if it is a DOS based program, <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/yet-1465121" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about YET">YET</a> it is not. Any <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/ideas-1035826" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about IDEAS">IDEAS</a> on how to fix this one?From the command prompt type....<br/><br/>copy c:\windows\repair\autoexec.nt c:\windows\system32\<br/><br/>thank you Gary...but the issue is how do I get my command prompt back...can not load cmd.exe or go to DOS mode..If you can't use the cmd box use the GUI and do the copy with Windows Explorer.<br/><br/>Hope this helps. Thanks Gary. It worked. The program now <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/runs-246860" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about RUNS">RUNS</a> and I can start DOS mode if I go to the programs accessories dos prompt, but if I go to start, run, cmd.exe I get a blank screen that quickly disapears, with no other action. If there is a solution, fine, otherwise I can live without it. <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/much-249971" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MUCH">MUCH</a> appreciated.<a href="https://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/ntcmds.mspx">http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/ntcmds.mspx</a></p></body></html> | |
