AUTOEXE.NT

[kestrel022]

Hi,
I am new to this forum and have a question in regard to a problem that I am having with Window XP. I am trying to install a gaming device (MS Sidewinder Precision Pro) on my computer. However, when I try to run the CD to install the device, I get the following message:

C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXE.NT. - The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications.

I have not had this problem in the past and I am puzzled as what to do.
Any help?

Thanks,
Tom
