I am running a Bird Programme called Avisys (version 5). Recently when I try
to open it i get the following error. Anybody assistance would be greatly
appreciated

C:Windows\Sysystem32\Autoexec.net. This file is not suitable for running
MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose Close to Terminate the
application.
 
use the expand command and xp cdrom to place the original file in the
system32 folder and the application should work.

That would be...
{ assuming the WinXP CDROM is in drive "D:" }

Go to; start --> run --> cmd

Inside the command prompt execute...

expand D:\i386\autoexec.nt_ %windir%windir\system32\autoexec.nt

almost...but just eliminate the final backslash and replace with a space:

expand D:\i386\autoexec.nt_ %windir%windir\system32 autoexec.nt


That would be...
{ assuming the WinXP CDROM is in drive "D:" }

Go to; start --> run --> cmd

Inside the command prompt execute...

expand D:\i386\autoexec.nt_ %windir%windir\system32\autoexec.nt

Actually... I made a REAL syntax error we both failed to pick upon !

Both my command line and yours will work.

The command can be...
expand D:\i386\autoexec.nt_ %windir%\system32\autoexec.nt
or
expand D:\i386\autoexec.nt_ %windir%\system32 autoexec.nt

But NOT { Bad syntax; %windir%windir } :-)
expand D:\i386\autoexec.nt_ %windir%windir\system32\autoexec.nt

Hi

Error message when you install or start an MS-DOS or 16-bit
Windows-based program
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;324767

You can put back the standard version of autoexec.nt/config.nt by
copying a backup copy held in %windir%\repair\ to %windir%\system32\
(%windir% is typically C:\Windows) instead of using the procedure in
the KB article above.


Could be caused a trojan or something similar, e.g.
TrojanDownloader.Win32.Dia.a, more about this here:

Also, AVAST (antivirus software) can be the cause if you
have WinXP SP2 installed:
