im trying to install a program on windows xp i keep getting this error:
C:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt. the system file is not suitable for running
MS-DOS and microsoft windows applications. choose "close" to terminate
application.
I have installed this same program on 2 other windows XP systems and they

I found this on another support site:

Solution?

The easiest is simply inserting the Windows XP CD into the CD drive and
clicking start -- Run and entering:

expand X:\i386\autoexec.nt_ c:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt

Replace X:\ with your CD ROM drive letter.

Microsoft has provided a solution for this problem here. It is related
to running DOS based or 16 bit applications in Windows XP. If you
either do not have this CD for some reason try downloading it here.
After downloading the .zip you will have to extract it to your
windows\system32 directory. If this file does not work properly for you
please check the feedback thread for assistance on your specific version
of windows.


Hope that helps...
