This usually means that you are invoking a raw COFF image instead of
the stubified .exe program.  DOS doesn't know how to run the former.

What exactly do you mean by that?  Windows multitasks between DOS
boxes, but if you want multitasking within a single program, you have
to write it as a multitasking program.  Check out several
multitasking/multithreading packages mentioned in section 22.3 of the
FAQ.

Gprof is part of the Binutils package and should be already installed
on your system.  Doesn't it work for you?
