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:

windows\system32 directory. If this file does not work properly for

menu that appears.
