We’re still learning about this problem. Our current theory is that the problem occurs when a Windows Update does not complete successfully.
- Use My Computer to open the folder c:\Windows\Repair
- Copy the file Autoexec.nt out of c:\Windows\Repair and Paste it into the folder c:\Windows\System32
- Open the folder c:\Windows\System32
- Right-click on Autoexec.nt and left-click on Open.
- You’ll get a window saying that Windows can’t open this kind of file.
- Click to Select Program from a list.
- Click OK.
- You see an Open With window.
- Click on Notepad.
- Make sure there is a checkmark on “Always use the selected program to open this kind of file”
- Click OK.
- Right-click on Autoexec.nt and left-click on Edit. (this is the option we added by the above Open With steps)
- The Autoexec.nt file opens in a window.
- Make sure it contains the following lines. You can ignore any lines that start with REM. If you don’t see these lines, contact Biblesoft Technical Support
@echo off
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\mscdexnt.exe
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\redir
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx - Click the “x” button in the top right corner to close the Autoexec.nt window.
- Right-click on Autoexec.nt and left-click on Properties.
- In the Attributes area, put a check mark on Read-Only. (We believe this step will make it less likely that the problem will occur again.)
- Click Apply.
- Click OK.
- Close My Computer and any other windows that are open.
- Now PC Study Bible should work.
