16-bit MS-DOS Subsystem error message

[Guest]

Does anyone know how can I repair the following problem? I keep getting this
error message when trying to install a program (AVG):
________________________________________________
16-bit MS-DOS Subsystem

C:\WINDOWS\system32\autoexec.nt The system file is not suitable for running
MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the
application.
________________________________________________

I tried using the method listed in 'An Error Message Occurs When You Run an
MS-DOS or 16-Bit Windows Program' (Article ID : 305521) on Windows Help and
Support, but this didn't work (probably as the article was not written for XP)

If you can help me out, it would be much appreciated!

Cheers
