having a little trouble... 1

[zakuairraid]

I'm having trouble running programs from my DOS prompt, each time I try to open my older software it says "C:\WINDOES\system32\autoexec.nt. The system File is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application."
I never really knew my way around DOS, can anybody please help? It would be most appreciated.
Sorry for the trouble,
David

Basically you just have to replace a missing file, these articles will explain it further.

It is also possible that this was caused by malware in the first place so this might be worth a read too.
