Hi, I hope someone can help me.
Recently, everytime I boot up, I get the following msg box :-
"C:\windows\system32\autoexec.NT. The System file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and MS-Windows applications. Choose "Close" to terminate the application"
The choices are "Close" or "Ignore".
When I come to load a program from my STARTUP menu, this appears again. I don't know what I've installed (or uninstalled) has given this, but does any1 know how I track this down and delelte the message?
Many Many Thks,
