You can solve that problem by replacing the file:

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)

If the autoexec.nt file isn't in the repair folder (it wasn't in mine just system.bak) look for the thread/question 'autoexec.nt problems' (originally asked by me.) Jimmy has most kindly added a website where you can download this file, just follow his instructions for downloading it (its only 1.64kb) and place it in the system 32 folder. Then it should work. Hope this helps
