error message when trying to read cd/download

[Guest]

Hi! Ok I am having a very frustrating time, and am hoping someone can help.
I am trying to download a cd for school, and everytime it reads it it tell me
this error: 16 Bit Windows Subsystem:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for runnign
MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applicatins. Choose close to terminate the
application.

also, I tried to download it from the website and its giving me the same
error. I tried on another computer and it worked fine. I am so frustrated
right now. I did download this about a month ago but when i try to open it
it gives me the same error.

I have no clue what is going on. I have tried system restore, turning it on
and off, and all of that stuff. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much

you have to right click on the icon that start the program and select the
"Compatibility" Tab and select the "run this program in compatibility mode"
for Windows 95.

First, check to be sure you even have the autoexec.nt file there.
c:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt

If you don't, copy it from c:\windows\repair
