| Whenever I try to execute a .bat file I recieve the following message:
| " C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe
| C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT The system file is not suitable for
| running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Chose "close" to terminate
| the application"
AUTOEXEC.NT Fix Method 1:
copy; c:\windows\repair\autoexec.nt
to
c:\windows\system32
AUTOEXEC.NT FIX Method 2:
Go to; Start --> Run
enter; cmd.exe
{ assuming the WinXP CDROM disk is in drive "D:" }
In the Command Prompt enter...
expand D:\i386\autoexec.nt_ %windir%\system32\autoexec.nt
Since there are many forms of malware that will cause this kind of problem with AUTOEXEC.NT,
please perform the following...
Dump the contents of the IE Temporary Internet Folder cache (TIF)
Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Internet Options --> Delete Files
Dump the contents of the Mozilla FireFox Cache { if you use FireFox }
Tools --> Options --> Privacy --> Cache --> Clear
