but will pop up something like  "16 bit MS-DOS subsystem", not sure why 
16 not 32. could it be the reason? I just have no idea how to change 16 
to 32.

I use ls.exe built on Nov, 2003, I believe it is the latest build.

The error message contains "NTVDM CPU".
 From Brian Inglis's post in antoher email, it seems that I should use 
NTlfn not NTVDM. I expect all Windows XP should have similar settings by 
default. This problem only appears sometime. same ls.exe in other XP 
machines work fine.
