16 bit Windows SubSystem Error

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain (More info?)

When I try to uninstall any applications either through CONTROL PANEL..ADD
REMOVE PROGRAMS or through using MAGIC UTILITIES 2004 I get"

16 bit Windows Subsystem
C:\Windows\System32\Autoexec.NT. The system file is not suitable for
running MS-DOS and Windows applications. Choose 'close' to terminate the
application.

Any ideas? O.S. is Windows XP Professional SP2

Thanks In Advance

Thanks, while doing some research at Microsoft I found the answer and
expanded a new copy of autoexec.NT from my XP install media. Problem
solved :-)
