Hi

Error message when you install or start an MS-DOS or 16-bit
Windows-based program
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;324767

You can put back the standard version of autoexec.nt/config.nt by
copying a backup copy held in %windir%\repair\ to %windir%\system32\
(%windir% is typically C:\Windows) instead of using the procedure in
the KB article above.


Could be caused a trojan or something similar, e.g.
TrojanDownloader.Win32.Dia.a, more about this here:

Also, AVAST (antivirus software) can be the cause if you
have WinXP SP2 installed:

I just got that message today and its because some spyware deleted my
Autoexec.NT file. Copy a coworkers and everything is fine now.

Same here, Kelly. I was posting to German groups only during the past
years. Meanwhile, the traffic in the local XP groups is pretty low
(all problems resolved?), now allowing to drop into this group from
time to time. Therefore, it's time to release a new Windows version!

XOXOXO,

All resolved <???>, not sure about that! New OP, in the works, as you know.

Hehe, neither am I.

New OP, in the works, as you know. <w>

Yep. I still remember 'Windows 1.01' (1985). The US vendor gave it to
me for free because it was "just a toy for developers w/o any future"
in his opinion. <bg>

XOXOXO,

Hi

Try copying the autoexec.nt file from the windows\repair folder to the
windows\system32 folder.

Most likely caused a trojan or something similar, e.g.

Hi

As assara's autoexec.nt is removed at every boot, that will not help.
The problem is very likely cased by a worm that needs to be removed
to stop this from happening.

E.g. TrojanDownloader.Win32.Dia.a does this:
