Epson Stylus C50 printer driver problem

[Guest]

"C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running
MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the
application."

I bought a Epson Stylus C50 printer from China and have tried out
unsuccessfully to install Stylus C50 version 5.2b printer driver downloaded
from
http://www.epson.com.hk/news_winxpdownload.jsp
onto my English-version Windows XP system. I kept on getting the above
message. Please help.

Error message when you install or start an MS-DOS or 16-bit
Windows-based program

Also can be caused by a Trojan installing a file windupdater.exe and
creating registry entries for that file.

AVAST (free antivirus software) can be the cause if SP2 is installed:

You can put back the standard version of autoexec.nt by copying a backup
copy held in windows\repair to windows\system32.
