A similar problem has been noted rarely (about once a year) on Windows
NT, 2000 and XP.  It's not reproducible on other systems.

Does the "GO32" command provide any output to the screen?

If no, then what sofware do you have installed?  It seems that something
on the system is conflicting with normal operation of DPMI images.

Does \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT  contain a line with DOSX?  Does 
command.com work as a shell on your system?  Has someone (an administrator)
prevented the execution of 16-bit programs on this system?
