16 bit Windows Subsystem (this in title bar of the dialog box) and the content of the box as following:
c:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and microsoft windows application. Choose "Close" to terminate the application.

and there're two button at the bottom:
Close and Ignore

I hope you would kindly help me out to solve this problem as soon as possible.

Hi & welcome

This error is caused by a corrupt autoexec.nt or config.nt file in your c:\windows\system32.

hi i have the same problem :x but i cant find the CD anywhere! i guess it means the windows CD right? the only thing i can find is the recovery disk and i can never remember needing a CD to make the computer work except for software CDs (works, excel etc) is there any other way past tis except using the CD?

You could try doing the following:

Open c:\windows\repair - find an older copy of the autoexec.nt file in there and copy it to your c:\windows\stystem32 folder.

i tried moving the file but stil the same problem :oops:

Hi Guys and Gals,

This thread was left unfinished. It is possible that Stid needed to replace the Config.nt file as well.

The full instructions for repairing the Autoexec.nt and Config.nt files from Microsoft are included in this article. Repairing Autoexec.nt files.

If you find yourself in the unenviable position of needing to work without the CD, follow the instructions at the end of the article.

If you are still having problems, please post your own thread in the XP/2000 forum.

See you in the forums,

TTFN
