I recently had a problem with installing some programs because of a
"Autoexe.nt" Error Message. I was able to find a solution to this problem
and was eventually installed the programs. Unfortunately, now I am still
having a wee bit problem with this same issue. The solution called for me to
go to "C:\Windows\Repair" folder and copy the "autoexe.nt" file, then I was
to paste this file to the "C:\Windows\System32" folder. This did the trip,
only prob now is that I keep having to recopy and paste this file everytime I
try to play this game, especially if I've turned off my puter in between the
time I play this game. Leaving on my puter 24/7 is Not an option. I would
appreciate any time or effort applied to helping me find a way to make this
file stay where I've copied it to. And Thank You.

Hi dukiesma1001,

Have a look at the information here, provided courtesy of Kelly Theriot:

MS-DOS or 16-bit Windows-based program Error Message
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.co­m/xp_m.htm#16bit

Take a look at the section under "From Ron:"

As a workaround, you could make the autoexec.nt file Read Only, and this
should prevent it from being deleted at startup/restart.



Regards,

If this error keeps recurring then this is usually an indication of a
virus/trojan/spyware infestation on your computer.

Make certain that your antivirus software is completely up to date
with the virus definitions not more than a week old and do a complete
virus scan of your hard drive. Then get a "second opinion" by doing a
free online virus scan at one of the following web sites:

Follow this up with a visit to the free online spyware check on MVP
Jim Eshelman's web site at http://aumha.org/a/noads.htm and if any
spyware is found use Jim's Quick Fix procedure at

Good luck

I agree with Ron Martell I just recieved a newsletter (Langa List) that
talks about some type of malware which deletes this file




Sometimes,when you remove malware it will stop your TCP/IP
stack from working (Internet connection).
Winsock or LSP-fix will correct the problem,Download first.
Note to anyone using NOD32 Anti-Virus software,Do Not delete the
"imon.dll" this fix reports,That is your e/mail scanning engine.

YES-You need more than 1 malware program,the one's below are all free
and work well.
