I just purchased a basic program for floor plan design, and it specifies
that it is XP Compatible and is from a company that I have used before and
has proven to be reputable. I get the following error:

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.


Any ideas what causes this and what I can do to fix it?


Thank you!
