Hi everyone,
I am using a PIC 16f876 in a small project of mine and I have only just got around to fixing my PC and installing winXP.
However, when I try and install MPlab 5.7 (ver 6 doesn't support it) it comes up with a "16 bit windows subsystem" error referring to the system file C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT, and says that this file is not suitable for running ms-dos and microsoft windows apps, I can either close or ignore but either shuts it down.
I'm no fool, but I am not sure how to fix this error. Is it a WinXP error?
p.s I have read related threads, but they do not really help...
I have also found this with one or two other programs that would not install when I tried to run them.
I should also mention that I have tried editing the virtual device driver entry in the registry as mentioned elsewhere, but no luck.
