I'm getting this error message from windows when I try to install some programs.

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, and there's a close and ignore buttons, wich don't make any difference.

This happens for a wile now, and I don't know what's causing it.
I'm runnig windows xp, sp1.

Does anybody have any idea on how can I fix that if at all possibile?

I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you.

I never heard of that error before, either ... I learnt something from it, didn't mean to say you were lazy :).
