Installing a CD-ROM

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
I am trying to install a CD-ROM but when I click install when the CD opens with autoplay, a message comes up saying:

"16 bit Windows Subsystem

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose "Close" to terminate the application"

It then has two options: "Close" and "Ignore".

I have tried close but that does exactly what it says and closes it, and I have tried clicking ignore, it then says it's loading but does nothing.

I have left it for 15 minutes and still nothing.

Any ideas how I can rectify this?

Thanks x

    How old is the CD and what version of windows?

    You may have to try to locate the actual installer program on the CD and run is seperately, possibly in compatibility mode.

    I have had the CD for a few months but haven't had time to use it. I think I have Windows XP. The CD-ROM says that it is compatible with XP.
