Oct 2002 19:21 PST Expires: 28 Nov 2002 19:21 PST Question ID: 92723 I am unable to install any new software on my 10 month old Sony VAIO PC. I have Windows XP. When I begin an install http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview/id/92723.html a window appears with a title bar of: 16 bit Windows Subsystem and this message: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG.NT . The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/config-nt-the-system-file-is-not-suitable-for-running-ms-dos-and-windows-applications.716516/ application. I have unsuccessfully, thoroughly searched (both with Windows Explorer and from a DOS prompt) for this file. I have cleaned the hard drive several times both with scandisk and defrag, cleaned the registry windows 7 files with an OnTrack utility. Restored to several previously good points. The problem seems to have begun when SP1 was attempting and finally successfully installed itself. I have since removed SP1 and then re-installed it. I have XP on my secondary (networked) PC and I can install programs with no problem. I have searched and searched resources, support groups, knowledgeable IT professionals, etc. and no one has any knowledge is not suitable of this error message or more importantly how to get "rid" of it short of doing a complete rebuild of the PC. Request for Question Clarification by pwizard-ga on 29 Oct 2002 19:53 PST Greetings mellen, I think I can help to solve your problem, but I don't want to post an official answer if this doesn't help or has already been tried. The CONFIG.NT file is a critical system file akin to the command.com file. If it's missing from your system entirely, you definitely would be getting the error you're describing. This will also happen if this file is corrupted. Could you please try this solution and see if it fixes your problem? All of the resources I've searched points to this as the resolution. If it works, I'll post it as an official answer. If not, I have some other ideas about how to go about fixing the problem without a fresh install. This error can occur when the files, Config.nt, Autoexec.nt and Command.com, are missing or corrupt. To resolve this issue, use MS-DOS prompt to expand the files from the Windows XP CD-ROM, or edit the files in the text editor, Notepad. Method 1: Expand the Files From the Windows XP CD-ROM --------------------------------------------

Pehaps it's corrupt, or contains some offending statements. Try renaming it, or at least scan it for garbage code. Everything in that file should be ascii charactors, and be in the form of "Device=(some path/device.sys statement)", maybe a "Buffers=" or Files=" ...frequently some sound board drivers.....check it out. I check my XP Pro system, there is no config.nt file anywhere...if you upgraded from NT, it's probably not needed. Good Luck Scott #2 ScottMac, Jan 27, 2002 Retro2001 Senior member Joined: Jun 20, 2000 Messages: 767 Likes Received: 0 Thanks for the advice, but the file looks solid, and I tried replacing it with another copy from another computer's install of XP to no avail. Are there any supporting files that could be bad?
