Running MS-DOS

[Guest]

I was trying to install a new game, after hitting install I am getting this
error message:
C:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt. The system file is not suitable for
running MS-DOS and Microsoft applications.

Any help is welcome
Michelle

This can be a couple of things:

1. The combination of the Avast anti-virus program and XP SP2:
