Problem to run DOS programs

[Guest]

Hello everyone,

I am having problems to run a DOS program. I have windows XP and every time
for all the programs it says "C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe
C:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt. The file system doesn't allow the execution
of MS-DOS applications or Microsoft Wondows; Choose close to end the
application" close ignore" Anybody can help me? Thank you very much in
advance!

Copy the Autoexec.nt from the "c:\windows\repair" to "c:\windows\system32"
and retry.

Seems to be an epidemic lately....

This can be caused by a trojan.

Get rid of the trojan.

Update your antivirus software and run a full system scan.

Copy the autoexec.nt file from C:\Windows\Repair to C:\Windows\System32
And set Attributes for autoexec.nt to Read-only.

Or %systemroot%\Repair to %systemroot%\System32

Read-only
[[Specifies whether this file is read-only, which means that it cannot be
changed or accidentally deleted.]]

1. Right click the file.
2. Properties.
3. Select: Read-only.
4. Click: Apply.
5. Click: OK.

Thanks all! I have copy the file to the system32 directory and it worked. It
seems that it was missing? Is it possible? Anyway I am doing a system scan to
check for viruses. Thank Again!

Almost anything is possible with Windows. Especially something that causes
problems. ;-)
