When I try to open specific programs an error window pops up and says " win 16 subsystem was unable to enter Protected Mode, DOSX.EXE must be in your AUTOEXEC.NT and present in your PATH". How do i fix this problem?
This question was answered on February 10, 2003. Much of the information contained herein may have changed since posting.
Try to do this:
Edit the config.nt file in the C:\windows\system32 directory to read:
EMM = B=4000 RAM
dos=high, umb
device=%SystemRoot%\system32\himem.sys
files=40
Note the spaces in the EMM line carefully - one either side of the first = and before RAM, none with the second =
Also make sure there is a line in your autoexec.nt file (C:\windows\system32 directory) that reads:
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx
I hope that this works.
