- Autoexec.nt error while load W
- Posted by Gale on February 22nd, 2006
Hi, I get the error: 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.
When I am trying to load a Windows 32 bit prog. from CD I receive error.
This is a not a DOS based program. Do I follow procedure for replacing
Autoexec.nt? I have loaded this prog. many times on many machines without a
prob. Is there something else I need to check?

Same as in microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support
This can be caused by a trojan/virus/worm.
Get rid of the trojan/virus/worm.
Update your antivirus software and run a full system scan.
Do the same for whatever anti-spyware applications that you have.
Copy the autoexec.nt file from C:\Windows\Repair to C:\Windows\System32
And set Attributes for autoexec.nt to Read-only.
Or %systemroot%\Repair to %systemroot%\System32
Read-only
[[Specifies whether this file is read-only, which means that it cannot be
changed or accidentally deleted.]]
1. Right click the file.
2. Properties.
3. Select: Read-only.
4. Click: Apply.
5. Click: OK.

Also can be caused by a Trojan installing a file windupdater.exe and
creating registry entries for that file.

You can put back the standard version of autoexec.nt by copying a backup
copy held in windows\repair to windows\system32.

The odd part is this computer allowed me to install a SonicWall VPN Client
prior to the problem app.
Thanks for the advice
