16 Bit Window Subsystem error with XP

Lately when I try and open Microsoft works and pick a template to open I get
an error, 16 bit MS-DOS subsystem path to the program C:\Windows\System32
Autoexec.nt is not suitable for running MS-DOS and windows applications.
Chose close to terminate or ignore. Both choices take me back to where I
started in works. I've put in my XP disk and copied the files, himen.sys-
autoexec.nt_-config.nt-mscdexnt.exe-redir-dosx-command.com-, into my system32
folder and it still won't work. I can't even relode the works disk because I
get the same errors. I've tried system restore all the way back to November
and it won't restore either because of this. Does any one have any more
ideas? I have done what Jerry told Clint to do and I don't know what program
to use to open that file in windows repair or even what part to look for. As
you can see I am not a computer genius.
