| Hi,
| This probelm keeps bugging me for period of time.
| We have one workstation with XP professional SP1 running fine except that
| whenever rebooting the workstation and run the DOS program (16bit), it would
| show "Antoexec.nt missing" error.
| The way I fixed the error is to copy the same file from other workstation
| and paste it under C:\windows\windows32\.
| Everytime rebooting the workstation , the same error happen again and I need
| to do the same copy and paste job which is kind of stupid.
| Anyone know what cause this error ?
| Very appreciated
| Henry
AUTOEXEC.NT Fix Method 1:
copy; c:\windows\repair\autoexec.nt
to
c:\windows\system32
AUTOEXEC.NT FIX Method 2:
Go to; Start --> Run
enter; cmd.exe
{ assuming the WinXP CDROM disk is in drive "D:" }
In the Command Prompt enter...
expand D:\i386\autoexec.nt_ %windir%\system32\autoexec.nt
Since there are many forms of malware that will cause this kind of problem with AUTOEXEC.NT,
please
perform the following...
Dump the contents of the IE Temporary Internet Folder cache (TIF)
Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Internet Options --> Delete Files
Dump the contents of the Mozilla FireFox Cache
Tools --> Options --> Privacy --> Cache --> Clear
