"C:\Windows\System32\Autoexec.nt The system file is not suitable for running
MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the
application."

This is a error message I get now when trying to run ms-dos related
software like TOEFL Powerprep or old MS-DOS related games.-

I cannot install or enter the programs anymore.

even though I tried the solution given by microsoft support, it reoccurs as
soon as i restart my system. I have windowsXP with SP2.
Anybody please help me get rid of this problem.

Hi Sanjeev,

Error message when you install or start an MS-DOS or 16-bit Windows-based
program
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=324767

This should help resolve this common problem. Basically, you will have to
expand new copies of command.com, autoexec.nt, and config.nt to the system32
folder from the WinXP CD or I386 folder on your hard drive. Sometimes, you
need to create new ones and overwrite the existing ones - the method is
described in the article.
