Click to expand...

I found this on another support site:

Solution?

The easiest is simply inserting the Windows XP CD into the CD drive an
clicking start -- Run and entering:

expand X:\i386\autoexec.nt_ c:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt

Replace X:\ with your CD ROM drive letter.

Microsoft has provided a solution for this problem here. It is relate
to running DOS based or 16 bit applications in Windows XP. If yo
either do not have this CD for some reason try downloading it here
After downloading the .zip you will have to extract it to you
windows\system32 directory. If this file does not work properly for yo
please check the feedback thread for assistance on your specific versio
of windows.


Hope that helps..
