Syslinux - Apr 2007 - Error from boot .img can not run from protected enviornment

I set up a bios update option on a PXE server, when it boots and starts to run
the exe for the bios I get the error: Can not run from protected enviornment. 
Can any one help me reconcile this issue so I can get the bios update .img to
work correctly.

Thanks for any help guys.

Thank You

Could you explain, *IN DETAIL* what your current setup looks like?

I will try.

I have PXE linux on a windows 2003 server, with TFTPD handaling the broadcast,
and ghost handleing my system images. I have several small boot images I made
from windows 98 disks that, launch the system images, and lots of utilities,
like HDD, Ultimateboot, and Bios upgrades, or so I thought, all of my small boot
images are identical in that they will boot about 3 manufaturers over 10
platforms. the image for the Bios systems, boots the system up and loads the
nics, and other pariferials. Well when the system boots up and launches the dos
exe for the bios upgrade, which works when booted from a floppy, but when I
create an image of the disk, and boot it over PXE it gives the error of the bios
exe complains that it cannot run from a protected enviornment. I hope that is
the detail you were wanting. If not help me give you the info needed.

Don't take replies off-list, please.

2.08 is prehistoric at this point.  Please try a more recent version.

The config, works fine, they all work like they are intended, its after the
image boots on the GX260Bios one, I get an error.  The error is not directly
related to the PXE server, it is only related in the since, that the floppy
version of the bios update works, but not the PXE image, it does boot and launch
the bios update software and then I get the error.  Is that a better
explanation.

The exact error is from the bios update software and it reads "Error cannot
run under a protected enviornment."

Attached is an image of the folder structure of the image and files in it.

it is free dos my com file shows IBMDOS

Ass far as the 1.44 to 2.8 I used winimage, and added the bios software to it
and thats what balloned it to 2.8.  I have done that to other floppy images and
they work fine, like the pic that is attached it is of a 2.8 image that boots
and then launches ghost for my imaging part of the PXE server, and it works
fine.  My reasoning behind the error relating to PXE is i think its from not
being able to write to the location where the exe is launching from, but I dont
know how to move it to ram or something where it is writeable, any ideas and is
this enough info on my issue yet.
