If the previous recommendations do not yield a permanent solution, try this
approach:

This error is sometimes caused by a virus or anti-virus app deleting the
autoexec.nt file in %SystemRoot%\System32 folder.

Do a search for the autoexec.nt file on your system. Normally there are two on
your system.You should have one copy in the %SystemRoot%\Repair folder and
another in the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder. If the latter location is void of
this file, simply, copy it from the Repair folder.

It may also be advantageous to change its file attribute to read-only.

If the search reports that no such files exist on your system, see the MSKB
article below.

See this article for more info on this subject:

Check your system for malware (spyware/adware/virus). The most commonly reported
malware is a trojan type called Windows SyncroAd. See this article, or search
Google, for symptoms and removal instructions:
