Every time I try to install or run certain programs I get a message that says:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS an Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.

Does this mean the program I'm trying to use will not work on any windows platfrom?
 
hi all ,
CAUSE:This problem is caused by missing or corruption of the file autoexec.nt.
You just need to replace it with a good one.
try this steps
My computers -->TOOLS--> FOLDER OPTIONS -->VIEW,

CHEcK THE OPTION
1."Display contents of System Folders"
2."Show hidden files and folders"
NOW UNCHECK THE OPTION
3."Hide extensions for known file types"
4."Hide protected operating system files"
5.Open the C:\Windows\repair folder and copy the
autoexec.nt file by right click and Copy on it.
6.Open the C:\Windows\system32 folder and paste
the autoexec.nt file
on it (accept the replace of the old file if it
is necessary).
close the window and enjoy your dos program once again
 
I looked in the System32 folder and I didn't find autoexec.nt but I did a search and found it in C:\WINDOWS\repair

Does this mean the file is completely missing from the System32 folder? Can I just copy and paste autoexec.nt from the repair folder into the System32 folder?
 
Here we go..get your windows cd...

1. Insert the CD into the CD drive or DVD drive.
2. Click Start, and then click Run.
3. In the Open box, type cmd, and then click OK.
4. At the command prompt, type the following commands, pressing ENTER after each command:


expand CD-ROM Drive Letter:\i386\config.nt_ c:\windows\system32\config.nt
expand CD-ROM Drive Letter:\i386\autoexec.nt_ c:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt
expand CD-ROM Drive Letter:\i386\command.co_ c:\windows\system32\command.com
exit


5. Start or install the program. If the issue is resolved, do not complete the remaining steps. If the issue is not resolved, go to the next step.
6. Note: The Command.com file is not edited or created in this in the following process. Because of this, you may have to expand it from your Windows XP CD-ROM.

Start Notepad.
7. In Notepad, type the following entries:

dos=high, umb
device=%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\himem.sys
files=40

8. On the File menu, click Save As.
9. In the File Name box, type Config.nt, and then click Save. Close the Config.nt file.
10. On the File menu, click New.
11. In the new blank document, type the following entries:

@echo off
lh %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\mscdexnt.exe
lh %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\redir
lh %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\dosx
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 P330 T3


12. On the File menu, click Save As.
13. In the File Name box, type Autoexec.nt, and then click Save. Close the Autoexec.nt file.
14. Start Windows Explorer. Locate the Config.nt file, right-click the Config.nt file, and then click Copy.
15. Right-click the %SYSTEMROOT%\System32 folder, and then click Paste.
16. Locate the Autoexec.nt file, right-click the Autoexec.nt file, and then click Copy.
17. Right-click the %SYSTEMROOT%\System32 folder, and then click Paste.
18. Locate the Command.com file, right-click the expanded Command.com file, and then click Copy.
19. Right-click the %SYSTEMROOT%\System32 folder, and then click Paste. Restart your computer.
 
Thanks for the info I found that on microsoft support and didn't really understand it, thanks for clearing it up. I'll try that tomorrow after school. But, can I just copy and paste that file?
 
Its happened to me to. One day im enjoying my autoexec.nt, and the next thing I know its gone. I just copied it from c:\windows\repair, and pasted it into c:\windows\system32 and that did the trick.
