Hello there, can anybody out there help me with an error message that I get
whenever I try to install some programs (even quite recent ones)

The error message is

"c:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt The system file is not suitable for running
MS-DOS and windows applications"

I have tried all the compatability options but it still will not allow me to
install some programs. I know that this is a glitch as I installed Flight
Sim 95 a couple of months ago successfully and now it will not install at
all (I previously had reason to uninstall this prog)

Is there a solution to this or do I have to go down the avenue of
re-installing XP or worst still installing a dual boot with 98 + xp

Help please
 
Hi Chris,

Instead of using autoexec.nt, go to the Control Panel/System/Advanced tab,
click on environmental variables and create your entries here under the
system variables.
