I have run a Windows Update and since then I get this: in a box titled: 16 bit Windows Subsystem

it reads: '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.'

What does that mean, it only happens when you try to Run an program.

Untill the windows update there were no problems

Thanks

For some undocumented reason, XP SP2 upgrade sometimes, for some people, deletes the file autoexec.nt from the windows\system32 folder.

Technical info about solving this problem is at:

A simpler way to fix the problem (if your autoexec.nt file is not there) is:

Go to C:\windows\repair.
Open the folder.
Find the autoexec.nt file.
Copy it
Go to C:\windows\system32.
Open that folder.
Paste the file you just copied into it.
