Receive the following error when trying to launch a program.
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT The system file is not suitable for running
MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications.
Choose "Close" to terminate the application.
Here is a summary of what I am trying to do:
I have a CD for a continuing education class I am taking. I am having to
access the program through the CD everytime I want to use it because autorun
does not kick in and when trying to install the program manually the above
error is given. Even though I can access the program I can only access it
through a exe file that is not the main EXE file and therefore will only let
me access most but not all of the programs features.
One other student in my class has XP and she too was not able to get the
program to install on her computer and is having to access it like I am.
Everyone else in the class has earlier versions of Windows.
Being I am able to access that particular program I have no questions
pertaining to it but:
Today I downloaded 2 programs that I need for more continuing education
classes and the above error is occuring again. Being these are downloaded
programs I am not able to gain access through a CD.
Can anyone help me fix whatever may be wrong so that I can run these
programs?
Here is what I am running:
OS Name: Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Version: 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600
Windows Directory: C:\WINNT
System Directory: C:\WINNT\system32
System Manufacturer: Gateway
System Type: X86-based PC
Thank you in advanced,
