Error Message When Downloading Scanner Driver

[Guest]

I am trying to reinstall my HP Scanner after updating to XP. When downloading
the driver I get the following message -C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT.
THE SYSTEM FILE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR RUNNING MS-DOS AND MICROSOFT WINDOWS
APPLICATIONS.
How do I overcome this problem. Many thanks, Kerrie
