"16 bit MS-DOS
Subsystem" error
After the installation of Windows XP Service Pack 2, the error "16
bit MS-DOS Subsystem" appears on my screen when I try to run an
application such as Grant Seeker Pro.
-
What
can I do to resolve the error message? This
is a problem with Windows XP Service Pack 2. We have provided
a solution for this error. You can fix this problem by following
the instructions below:
Solution: Install
http://www.grantseekerpro.com/xp_fix.exe .
This installation program will reinstall the missing
or corrupt Windows system files command.com, autoexec.nt
and config.nt. The absence or corruption of one or
more of these files causes a "16 Bit Subsystem" error.
We recommend that you download this file and save it to your desktop
or to another location where you can find it. Double click on the file
to run it once it's downloaded. If problem reoccurs in the future, simply
re-run this program.

What to I do first
Finding
the grants you want
The first step is to find the grants you are looking for. To do this
open the Grant Seeker Pro™ by clicking in
its desktop icon. Grant seeker pro allows you to search in three modes:
“catalog”, “index” and “search”
modes. here, we will cover search by “index” as an example.
-
On the main menu click on “index”,
this will give you an alphabetic list of all the types of grants,
let’s say you are looking for small business grants, you would
go down the list until you find “small business” then
click on it. This will open a submenu with all the grants related
to small business. Read through them, once you find the grant or
grants that you qualify for, write down the program id number so
you can refer back to it later if needed.
- Maximizing your grant
search
the grants that you are looking for maybe located in more than one category.
lets say you are looking for a business grant, you would logically look
under the “business” category. furthermore,
if you are a farmer you may also want to look under
“farm” for
business grants designed specifically for farmers.
Next
step - The Application
- Once you have found the grant programs you are
looking for. Then, the next step is to fill out the application
form that is included in the software. From the main menu click
on “application”.
- Once you open the application. It will ask you
if you want to work on a brand “new" application
or “open” an already saved application.
Choose whichever applies to you. If you are starting a new application
click on “new”. if you want to open
an existing application you were working on. Then, click
“open”.
- Once you have filled out the application and have
met all the requirements. Then, you are ready to mail the application
to the selected organization.
Application form questions:- Construction versus Non-construction If
the grant you are applying for has to do with building a structure
then mark “construction” otherwise
mark “non-construction”.
- What does identifier,
state identifier, federal identifier means? If you
have a grant application pending then you would enter the identifier
or case number. If not then just enter N/A in the three fields.
-
The
Business Plan
If the grant program you are looking for requires you to include a business
plan. (look under “application procedure” for
that specific grant program) then, you can use the business
plan software that comes included. To access the business plan click
on “business plan”.- Once you open it. it will prompt you to choose
whether you want to start a new business
plan or if you would like to open an
existing business plan. Choose whichever applies to you. If you
are starting a new business plan, the program will prompt you to
name your business plan. After you have named it click "save".
Then, click on “start” and fill out
the required information .
- If you have filled out the application and met
all requirements then you are ready to mail the application along
with the business plan to the address provided for that specific
grant.
