programme problems

[jill383]

I keep getting this message when I try and install something from a CD-ROM. It stops me and I can't get past it: 16 bit Windows Substream. C:WindowsSystem32AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'close' to terminate the application.........Close..........Ignore.
What does this mean? What shall I do?

I had the same with a programme, and was given the following Microsoft link which eventually solved my problems.

Sorry, you'll need to backspace the address to delete the formatting that seems to copy across, the end of the address should be '324767'.

Copy the autoexec.nt from the c:/windows/repair folder and paste it into the c:/windows/system32 folder. The autoexec.nt file has become corrupted.
