DOS PROMPT ERROR

[Guest]

I am using windows XP as operating system. When I execute Edit command at the
MS Dos prompt the system shows the error as

C:\WINDOWS\system32\CM.exe-EXIT

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running
MS DOS and Microsoft Windows Applications. Choose Closeto terminate the
application.

Please help me to fix this problem and guide me how I can use the Edit
command at the DOS problem. Thanks in anticipation

Browse to your C:\WINDOWS\repair folder and locate the file autoexec.nt and
copy it to you c:\windows\system32 folder.
this should resolve this error

This installaton program will reinstall the missing or corrupt Windows XP
system files command.com, autoexec.nt and config.nt. The absence or
corruption of one or more of these files causes a "16 Bit Subsystem" error.

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