I AM GOING INSANE!!
I recently had a new motherboard installed, and it seems now I get the following error messge when I try to install DOS games, as well as other programs that have a DOS-based install.

16-bit Windows Subsystem

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC\.NT. The systen file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'close' to terminate the application.

And can't re-install ANY of my favorite programs!!! please help!!!

Try DOSbox

For some reason, certain files XP needs to run DOS stuff just disappear. Don't ask me why ...

Anyways, extract the files contained in this zip file into your Windows SYSTEM32 folder and DOS stuff should run:

Of course, using DOSBox as GameMaster.EXE suggested might still work better than the generic Windows DOS command prompt ... get it at:
