autoexec.nt

[Bob Weber]

Windows XP Home SP1 (build 2600). Recent history; installed SP2,
uninstalled SP2, installed MS Office xp Professional w/Frontpage. Now many
of my older games won't run and get the following 16 bit Windows Subsystem
popup window that says: "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file
is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications."
Either choice, Close or Ignore, exits the program. What can I do to let my
old programs work?
