please help this is driving me crazy

When I try to install a game cd or remove certain programs from my add remove program the following message pops up

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT.The system fileis not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'close' to terminate the application
Close Ignore
When Ipress either button the message disapears, but the game or program wont do anything when I try to perform either action again the same message pops up.
any help on this would be great if possible
thanx Merlin

Merlin, what operation system are you using on you PC? If you are using Win 2000 or XP you cannot easly remove the specific programs. Otherwise you can bring you system up in DOS and manually remove the programs that you need to, otherwise you must do a CTR, ATL + DEL and quit the entire program the you can remove seperate segments of the program that don't fit what you want to do.

When I open windows explorer it opens my documents, but when I go to
windows repair folder it brings up the
config nt & the auto exec files but I cant find the %systemroot% file to
complete the instructions on the link

%systemroot% is an environment variable (alias) that expands to the Windows
installation directory

on most WindowsXP systems the %systemroot% = C:\Windows

for example:

%systemroot%\system32\command.com = C:\Windows\system32\command.com

so wherever you see %systemroot%, substitute C:\Windows

as an aside, you can see a list of current environment variables by entering
C:\SET at the command-line.
