DOS Aps can't run?

[LMO]

Hello all. I recently re-installed XP home after a crash. Now, when I try to
run progs I used to have no trouble with, I get an error saying
"C:\Windows\System32\Autoexec.NT. The system file is not suitable fir
running MS-DOS and MS Windows applications." Then it is terminated.
I tried to make it compatible with Win98 and such, but get the same error.
How do I get these progs to run again?
Thank you!

Have you tried re-installing the programs, perhaps the
registry was corrupted during the re-install of the OS?

Thanks, Kelly. Those instructions did the trick. I think my SP2 install
changed those 3 files so they did not work.
Much obliged!
