The system file is not suited for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications." This error is caused by the InstallShield software that uses some 16 bit code. It means that from directory C:\Windows\System32\ one or more of the following files are missing: Ntvdm.exe, Autoexec.nt, Config.nt, Command.com. Restoring these files from the original Windows XP CD will help. Also see the support information on: the InstallShield website the Microsoft website Q: I cannot install DeskProto on my Windows XP-64 system. A: The new 64 bits version of DeskProto is not yet supported by DeskProto. The program itself is compiled in 32 bit mode, so does not access the advantages of 64 bit. In addition, no 64 bit dongle driver is yet available, and also the current setup program contains some 16 bit code (see previous question) that does not run on Win64. [/quote] Regards, Roman
