285121 2004-10-27 21:19:00 Hi there

Running W2000 on a PIII 500

The program is "Cashbook Complete" which I have been running for yonks on this system

Today I got a warning box saying:

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

I have downloaded the latest version (which specifically includes W2000) but I get the same message when trying to install.

I suspect a virus, but AVG hasn't picked it up...

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

HTH:D
