I am running XP-Pro (SP-1)on PIV 1.6 256 Ram.Of late ,after a reinstall of
OS and SP-1,my kids tell me they are unable to install games like NFS-III
Age of Mythology etc. < blessing in disguise?> It seems that previously all
was well and these games said:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT.The system file is not suitable for
Click to expand...
running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications.Choose 'Close'to
terminate the application.<unquote>
I have The following progs all updated and periodically run on my system
1) Zone Alarm free
2)NAV-2003
3)Adaware SE
4)Spybot S&D
5)Spywareblaster
6)A-squared free
7)CCleaner
8)CWShredder.
Recently suffered a Trojan attack< courtesy two teenaged kids > when apart
from these had to resort to cleaning with Trend Sysclean package in safe
mode and had to do some deleting.Wonder if I had managed to bungle up
something then.
Would somebody please help.
TIA.
 
I hate to say it but man you have way to many Spyware programs on your
computer if you have to many they can start to uninstall each other and/or
system files you only need to very very good programs Spybot-Search and
Destroy and AVG 7.0 Free Edition I have used those programs for about 3 years
now no problems!!! oh yeah as for your computer saying it is unable to run
"C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT.The system file is not suitable for
running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications.Choose 'Close'to
terminate the application." one thing get more ram 256 is at bare minimum
also if you did a non destructive restore it will restore windows system
files and not wipe your whole hard drive!!!

Or you could have answered here. Looking in another NG is only good if you're
already subscribed to the group. There's over 10,000 headers in the last 3 days
in that group.

What did they say check the compatibility setting ?
 
Hi
had the same problem myself a few weeks ago If you search for the missing
file and copy it to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\
Then everything should work
Hope this helps

Just plain and simple copied autoexec.nt from windows.repair to system.32
and all was well.
I guess I had managed to delete it from tge sys32 folder.

Thanks ,
Found it in the windows.repair folder, and copying it did the trick.

I think I had set it in the headers of my OP that Followup was to be made
at help_and_support.Any decent newsreader points it out on trying to reply.
Anyway I have already answered your question in the previous post.
