The error in question is this C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT The
system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows
application. Choose ‘Close’ to terminate the application.

when I go to C:\WINDOWS there is no system32 file I went to folder view
and check the show hidden files and it still doesn't show up.

Again, System32 is a folder, not a file.

See:
