If you switched to the new machine by just copying your software files then you don't have the parts of Windows which are necessary for enchanted mode operation. To conserve scarce disk space on the user's system the Windows installer does not load the parts of Windows which require a 386 if the hardware has only a 286. The safest thing to do is to re-install Windows from scratch. Joe Morris / MITRE
