Metalhead It's not an issue regarding NDTV's CPU... Don't Read message title with your "MentalHead" Gautham.

Is it possible, due to MSI motherboard not supporting 16 bit MS-DOS application.....

^Lolz , No.
Thats XP's fault trying to emulate dos apps.
Change compatibility mode to say Win98 in properties and it should work fine.
