Hello,
All of a sudden I cannot install any software. The message that comes up
when I click install is c:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt. and then under this
it says the following.
The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows
applications.
I tried to install 4 different software packages and I get the same message.
I am hoping someone that knows alot about computerscan help me. Thank you so
much.....

Take a look at the bottom portion of this Microsoft article:

http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;324767

What you need to do is copy Autoexec.nt and Config.nt from the
C:\Windows\Repair folder and paste them into your
C:\Windows\System32 folder. You then have to make both files Read
only.

Quoting from the article:

If the issue continues to occur, copy the Autoexec.nt and
Config.nt files from the Repair folder in Windows to the System
folder. To do so, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, click Run,
type c:\windows\repair, and then click OK.
2. Right-click autoexec.nt, and then click Copy.
3. Click Start, click Run, type c:\windows\system32, and
then click OK.
4. Right-click anywhere in that folder, and then click
Paste.
5. Right-click the Autoexect.nt file that you just copied,
and then click Properties.
6. Click to select Read-Only, and then click OK.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 to copy the Config.nt file.
Note You must enable Read-Only permissions or the files will be
removed after you restart Windows.

Post back if you run into any problems doing this.
