Win16 cannot enter protected mode

by afu . Updated 17 years, 5 months ago

I am trying to load a program onto my computer (a program with multiple updates that won’t load unless it sees the original program on the drive). I get an error message: “The Win16 subsystem was unable to enter protected mode. DOSX.EXE must be in your AUTOEXEC.NT and present in your PATH”. How do I fix it, and how do I edit/create new any files that are needed? I’m using Windows 2000 Professional
