Hi upstage,

Here's an easy method to solve that error:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_m.htm#16bit

If that doesn't correct the issue, try this manual method:

1. Browse to C:\WINDOWS\repair
Right-Click and Copy the file named: autoexec.nt *

2. Browse to C:\WINDOWS\System32
Right-Click in that window to Paste the file
(Answer yes if prompted to replace existing file)


* Note: If the file autoexec.nt doesn't exist on your system
right click the link below and select the "Save Target As.."
option to save the file in C:\WINDOWS\System32

| HI
| Thanks for ur patience have tried the certificate thingy thats OK but
| Um it gets worse
| When i type cmd in the run box I get the following error message
| c:\WINDOWS\System32\cmd.com
| c:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXE.NT. The systemfile is not suitable for running
| MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'close' to terminate the
| application.
| Same thing applies if i type regedit as well

|||| Hi upstage,
||||
|||| Here are a few solutions for the DirectX 9 "Logo Testing" error,
|||| as well as other errors when trying to install patches or updates:
||||
|||| Here's a quick solution to try before reading through the other steps:
|||| 1.. Start the Administrative Tools utility in Control Panel.
|||| 2.. Double-click Services.
|||| 3.. Right-click Cryptographic Services, and then click Properties.
|||| 4.. Click Automatic for Startup type, and then click Start.
||||
|||| If that doesn't work, then grab a soda and get ready for some fun. ;-)
||||
|||| 1. Try the resolutions in this recently released MS article:
|||| http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=822798
||||
|||| 2. Save and then Open the "DX9 Logo Error" patch on Line 189
|||| for WinXP at: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
||||
|||| 3. Repairing Windows is our final option. Boot from your Windows
|||| CD (you may have to press F12 while starting up, or change the
|||| bootup order in your BIOS) and then follow the instructions at:
|||| http://michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm Good luck! :-)
