Explain this - helping a friend.

[Ric Trexell]

I hope this is the right ng to post this but a friend asked me to help her
with some computer stuff and one of the things has me baffled. She has
Windows XP and wants to run a program that is a game for her grandson. It
is made by the Tonka toy trucks company and this is the message that she
gets....

16 bit Windows Subsystem
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system fine is not suitable for
running
MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the
application.

I assume "fine" is supposed to be file. Anyway, is there a way to make this
work on XP? I haven't looked in the Knowledge Base yet but really don't
know what to look for anyway. Why can't a 16 bit program run on a 32 bit
computer? Thanks. RJT.

I guess I should have gone to the Knowledge base first. I think I found the
answer at this site...
