win XP 16 bit subsystem woes

Hi.
I recently tried to install a graphics tablet driver on my computer and can't seem to get the setup to run or to have windows find the driver on the cd. I've installed the tablet on my last pc and had no problems. At first, when I tried running the setup, an error popped up saying autoexec.nt was missing. I fixed that, and now the error is gone but the setup doesn't seem to run. In the task manager, I can see the setup under processes, but it isn't using any memory and when I end the task I receive an error telling me the win 16 subsystem has become unstable. Anybody know how to fix this? (I'm able to get the setup running fine on my older PC, which is also winXP)
