AUTOEXEC.NT

Hello,
Recently when I decided to download the most recent drivers for my hpdeskjet
920c printer for my WinXP. It failed to install twice - once using their
auto install process and then lastly when I downloaded the file and ran it
myself.

Not soon after asking around and doing some reading - and not finding much -
I drigressed to load an game that had neen on the system about a year ago
but removed.
Now in loading I get the same message.

In both cases, the following error message popped up - which confuses me -
it is the 2nd time I have encounter this issue when trying to load
upgrades/updates - any help is appreciated . Here is the message entitles
"16 bit Windows Subsystem":

"16 bit Windows Subsystem"
===========================

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.

===========================

What should I do?

Hi Jopkins,

Have a look at the information here:

{ assuming the WinXP CDROM disk is in drive "D:" }
In the Command Prompt enter...
expand D:\i386\autoexec.nt_ %windir%\system32\autoexec.nt
