When trying to load the disk for a canon n650u scanner, or from canon
website I get this message
16 bit windows sub system
c:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt
the system files are not suitable for running MSDOS and Microsoft windows
applications, close to terminate application.

Running XP Pro
Thanks

Any helpers please

the autoexec.nt file is probably missing from your \system32 folder

have a look and if it's not there...there should be a spare copy
in your windows\repair folder

then just *copy* the file over to your windows\system32 folder

Thanks for the info, it was spot on now working,
Regards John

Glad you got it working...
I got that tip from reading one of "Relic's" replies.
