I am getting the following message while trying to install some application,
to be precise PhotoShop plugins "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTO.NT. The system file
is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows application. Choose
'Close' to terminate the application." But before I could install them and
had no problem. My OS is Win XP (Pro) Service Pack2. What could be the
problem? Any help please. Thanks
