OK, i have that error when i open something that says: config.nt system file not suitable for running ms-dos applications, choose close to terminate the application.
and i found the solution, but it didnt work. it said i needed the config.nt file in my system32 folder, but i dont have one. I have the lastgood and lastgood.tmp folders instead. If anyone can tell me where to put the config.nt file i would appreciate it! thnks

Your System32 folder may be hidden. Go into Explorer and open the "tools" menu and then open "folder options" pick the "view" tab and check the box that says "show hidden files" and also the box that says "show protected operating system files".
Your system32 folder should show up then. You HAVE to have one or Windows wouldn't be working at all.

ok, i still don't have a system32 folder in my windows directory. i do though have one in my lastgood folder. i put config.nt in there but it doesn't solve the problem.

Slippy, As others have stated you have to have a System32 folder and normally it's not a hidden or protected folder. It should be in your C:\Windows or possibly C:\WINNT dorectory (folder). If for some odd reason you still can't find it go to the link below and download & run the "16bit_fix.exe" which should correct your problem.

ok, i got 16bit_fix and installed it. But now when i try to run the program it says "Please re-install the following module to your system32 directory: COMM.DRV"
and also, i still dont have a system32 folder.

Slippy, Check out the links/threads at the search links beow. Something, possibly a virus/trojan/malware may have caused this mess.
Please re-install the following module to your system32 directory: COMM.DRV Error

Ok, i went to those links and looked at the solutions, i tried them but none of them seemed to work. I did get comm.drv from driverguide but i still have no system32 folder. p.s. i did put comm.drv in c:\windows\lastgood\system32, but it still didnt work.

lastgood is somesort of spyware that hijacks the system32 folder. I am dealing with the same problem currently, but cant seem to find a good solution either. It also seems to lock you out of the registry when you run regedit with a "C:\Windows\system32\regedit.com
The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction"

To find the system32 invisible folder first I redownloaded adaware, The version I had was up to date but was not detecting anything. The fresh version did. Then follow the instructions here http://www.ozzu.com/ftopic46671.html
