16-bit MS-DOS Subsystem Error Quick Fix

Hi Jdonnel!

I'm sorry to hear (or read for this matter) that you are getting that config.nt error. It means that your config.nt error unfortunately was lost or damaged/corrupted. 

The bidgoodsvc link is actually a fix. (but its no longer working) 

Now, not to fret. 

Here's the solution: 

1.) Click the Start button

2.) Click on Run 

3.) Type the following on the address bar: –"C:WindowsRepair"–

4.) Click OK

5.) It will take you to the repair folder .. Look for & copy config.nt

6.) Do steps 1 to 2

7.) Type this on the address bar: –"%windir%system32"–

8.) It will take you to the system32 folder if done correctly

9.) Paste config.nt

I hope that helps!

 

Sincerely,

16-bit MS-DOS Subsystem Error Quick Fix

A friend of mine was messing around with his windows for quite some time and he recently tried loading his windows after formatting and he also experienced an error of some sorts and I believe this was it. I'll check back with him and see if the error is similar, then he too would be more than happy to see a solution to his problem. 

Thanks in advance.
