Installing games

I have tried to install three games which show the following error messages.
16 bit windows subsystem(THis is the title of the text box)
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.
The EA website has stated it's an o/s problem as the autoexec.nt file is
missing or damaged. Any ideas to fix this problem would be greatly
appreciated.
