problem when trying to install software

[Guest]

I am trying to install new printer software and keep getting the following
message when I open the install CD. c:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT The
system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows
applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application. Hopefully
some one can help with an easy fix. Thanks in advance. Rob

This might help copy autoexec.nt from c:\windows\repair to
c:\windows\system32

Good Luck

Locate the folder c:\windows\repair
Find the autoexec.nt file

right click on the autoexec.nt file and select "Copy to Folder..."

then navigate to c:\windows\system32
then select ok
