I can't install any games. Everytime I try I get the same error message. The
message is C:\\ Windows\System32\Autoexec.nt. The system file is not suitable
for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications.

Hi akyakim,

Here's an easy method to solve that error:

If that doesn't correct the issue, try this manual method:

1. Browse to C:\WINDOWS\repair
Right-Click and Copy the file named: autoexec.nt *

2. Browse to C:\WINDOWS\System32
Right-Click in that window to Paste the file
(Answer yes if prompted to replace existing file)


* Note: If the file autoexec.nt doesn't exist on your system
right click the link below and select the "Save Target As.."
option to save the file in C:\WINDOWS\System32
