Lost Windows XP files?

[Guest]

When I try and reload my PC Miler Program my computer says:
top line of box- 16 Bit Windows Subsystem
then: C:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt The system file is not suitable for
running MS-Dos & Microsoft Windows applications. Choose close to terminate
the application.
When I choose ignore- nothing happens.
Help- I can not reload Xp as I have the service pack2 and it is newer than
my orig XP disk-
Can nayone tell me what is wrong? Or what I need to do? Am I missing a
file on my computer?
Thanks

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

Replace the standard version of autoexec.nt/config.nt by copying a backup copy
located in %windir%\repair\ to %windir%\system32\
(NB: %windir% is typically C:\Windows)

Start>Run and type it this without the quotes:
"cmd /c copy /y %windir%\repair\autoexec.nt %windir%\system32"

note:-
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:
