16 Bit Subsystem Error

[Jabinho Db.]

I'm running off XP SP2. I've been trying to install an old Windows 95 program--Microsoft 3D Movie Maker. I don't think that's too important. However, when I tried to run the setup.exe from the CD I got the error . . .

config.nt. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Chose "Close" to terminate the application.

Then, I read up on a way to fix that problem online. I basically used a DOS Window command--EXPAND, I think it was--to add the config.nt file off my Windows disk to command.com in the system32 folder. Not really understand what the hell that did. But anyway, it didn't work, I just get a different error when I try to run the installer now. The error . . . .

The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction. C5:05d3 IP:0728 OP:65 63 69 66 69 Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.

I've read around and found no easy fix for this problem.

I was hoping for a much less drastic solution. I don't have access to a '95 disk. I'm sure there's another solution to the problem because what's happening with me seems to be just with me. There's a healthy online following of 3D Movie Maker and they all seem to be running it well off XP without any problems. They have no solution to my problem either.
