16 Bit MS-DOS Subsystem message.

Whan I run the Nero Info tool I get a message box with this title then:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\cmd.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\AUTOEXEC.NT
The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and MS Windows
applications. Click Close to terminate application.

Nero Info tool then works OK and PC works OK otherwise. Can anyone explain
what the message is about?

Thanks for the reply and the link. Will give that a try and post back with
the results.
This only started occurring after a re-install of XP with SP2, I had used
the Nero info tool many times before SP2 and no problems.
BTW I have the most recent version of Nero.

Just tried it and got stuck on the first line.
After expanding the CD drive and typing in the line the Enter I get the
message that Windows cannot open this file:

File: CONFIG.NT_

To open this file, Windows needs to know what program created it and then do
I want to use Web service or select program from a list.
I have only a basic understanding of DOS and don't know where to go from
here.

It's OK, I didn't realise that "expand" was a DOS command, I thought it
meant opening it using the DIR command.
Just tried Nero Info Tool again and it now opens without the error message.
Thanks again.
