Trouble Loading new Software

[Tim Pearson]

I am trying to load new software and get the following
error message

16 Bit Windows Subsystem

C:\Windows|System32|Autoexec.NT

The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and
Microsoft Windows applications

Can anyone help troubleshoot this?

Thx

Something has added a line to it which should not be there.

Edit it with NotePad. It should contain - apart from many comment lines
starting REM - just

REM Install CD ROM extensions
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\mscdexnt.exe

REM Install network redirector (load before dosx.exe)
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\redir

REM Install DPMI support
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx

And possible SET or PATH lines
Remove anything else by turning it into a comment, adding REM and a
space as shown in the above. And please note what they were and report
back - this is happening a lot and I would like to find out *what* has
got added
