A fix for Autoexec.nt and "16 bit subsystem" error

The Problem:

Recieving an error message while installing that reads "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT the system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Widows applications. Choose close to terminate the application."

The Solution:

Download XPfix.exe here: http://www.visualtour.com/downloads/xp_fix.exe

It says:

This installaton program will reinstall the missing or corrupt Windows XP system files command.com, autoexec.nt and config.nt. The absence or corruption of one or more of these files causes a "16 Bit Subsystem" error.

We recommend that you download this file and save it to your desktop or to another location where you can find it. Double click on the file to run it once it's downloaded. If problem reoccurs in the future, simply re-run this program.
