The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications (on Windows 2000)
Posted by Alex Vinokur on October 21st, 2004




====================================
Windows 2000 Professional Ver 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 4
====================================

Yesterday I have deleted Trojan horse Downloader.Agent.AS using AVG 6.0.
Today I have got the following error message via Message Box.

====================================
16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem
------------------------------------------------------------
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.
------------------------------------------------------------


What should I do?

Thanks.

Copy %SystemRoot%\Repair\autoexec.nt to %SystemRoot%\System32.
The problem has been fixed owing to an advice in
