I get an error "This application is not supported by Windows NT".

A. This can sometimes be caused by the files
%SystemRoot%system32config.nt
%SystemRoot%system32autoexec.nt
not having everyone:full access protection if the boot partition is NTFS. Tocheck/change this protection
Start Explorer (Start - Programs - Explorer)
Move to %SystemRoot%system32 (e.g. d:winntsystem32)
Right click on the file (config.nt/autoexec.nt) and select properties
Click the security tab and click Permissions
You can then change/view the protection
Click OK when finished
Incorrect or missing entries in either file can also cause problems. Forexample, removing the FILES=nnn line from CONFIG.NT will result in problems.Compare your files to another, working computer.
It can also be caused by a missing or damaged .dll file.
Expand the following files from the original Windows NT compact disc or youlatest Service Pack/Hot fix to the %Systemroot%System32 directory:
Compobj.dll
Ddeml.dll
Ole2.dll
Ole2disp.dll
Storage.dll
Ctl3dv2.Dll
Ole2nls.dll
Stdole.tlb
Typelib.dll
Ver.dll
NOTE: The Ver.dll file is located in the %SystemRoot%System folder and the%SystemRoot%System32 folder, and both versions have the same file size anddate.
I had this exact problem a short time ago and it was because a Windows 98version of VER.DLL had replaced the NT one.
