Noeton System Works 2003

[Bob]

I don't know what is happing, all of a sudden I can not install any
programs. I tried to install Norton System Works 2003 and 1st Page 2000 all
I get is a window with "16 Bit Windows Subsystem" at the top and
"c/windows/system32/autoexec.nt." then "The system file is not suitable for
using ms-dos and Microsoft windows applications." This happened once before
with my Dell printer it would not install the software, after a call to Dell
they did something in the msconfig and the software installed. Doe's anyone
have any ideas what to do??? Also when I tried to install Norton part of it
got installed and I can not remove it. Does Symantec have a uninstaller
program or is there a free one that will uninstall the THING?????? The one
that came with Norton is corrupt is what it says. I am running windows xp
pro sp2 with all updates.
Thank you all, for the help, you folks are the best.

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

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:

You can put back the standard version of autoexec.nt by copying a backup
copy held in windows\repair to windows\system32.
