The System file is not suitable for running Ms-Dos and Microsoft Windows Applications. Choose close to terminate application. Close Ignore What the hell does this message mean. It has only started happening. How do i fix it? I use windows xp. Cant do system restore because I disabled it to get rid of a virus. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers, George |

| 309988 | 2005-01-03 20:50:00 | I have a folder in windows called repair but all it contains is a file called system.bak. Also the microsoft anwser to this solution means you need the original windows xp cd, but when I bought my computer brand new it came with windows xp already installed. WHAT DO I DO?????????!!!!!!!! | George2004 (6755) | ||

| 309990 | 2005-01-04 22:03:00 | How do you fix this problem without the xp cd. What about all those who purchased their computer new with xp installed. Helpppppppppp!!!!! | George2004 (6755) | ||
| 309991 | 2005-01-04 23:19:00 | If you have no CD, then all the files that would usually be on the CD are on your system, either on the C: drive or another partition. Therefore it's simply a matter of extracting from there. |

| 309992 | 2005-06-23 21:04:00 | Beama, You my friend, are a genius! I am using my daughters computer. She has had this for 2 years. It is Win XP home edition. THere have been many instances where I tried to install a certain program, and I would get the above warning and it would not install it. I have researched and looked ALL OVER the internet to figure out why this happens. No one has helped me until today. I was trying to install Desktop Architect. Although it was not intended for XP, I know for a fact from research that you CAN use it. Others are using it. So after I got the warning message, I pasted it into my search engine, and I found the link for the forum here. I did what you suggested, found it in the repair folder, copied it into the System 32 folder. Then I doubleclicked the exec program, and I'll be darned! IT installed like silk. :thumbs: I can't THANK YOU enough! Now other programs should install as well. Thanks again, Beama... Star Angel |

| 309993 | 2005-06-23 21:13:00 | just an update on that, make the autoexec.nt that you copied "read only" that way nothing can change it or delete it as some spyware and virus's do. | beama (111) | ||
