My older games and applications won't install on Windows XP SP2.

My older games and applications won't install on Windows XP SP2.

Media Player96
I have Windows XP Home Edition SP2 installed on my computer.When I try to

install an older application(Autocad 2000) or an older game,I get a message

box with the heading "16 bit windows subsystem" and in the box it says:

"C:\Windows system32\Autoexe.NT The system file is not suitable for running

ms-dos and microsoft windows applications choose close to terminate

application". At the bottom of the box are two choices "Close" or "Ignore".

I click ignore and it just closes and won't continue with the installation.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
