When trying to load programs using Windows XP I receive the following message;

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT System file is not suitable for running
MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the
applications.

How do I go about restoring the computer to allow these applications to run?
