Error message

I keep getting this error message evertime I boot up my Laptop (Thinkpad R40/ Winxp sp2) and I don't know why it means.

C:\windows\system32\AutoEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft windows applications.

I can either choose to ignore it or close the Application. Then it seems to run ok.

Try this:
insert the Windows XP CD into the CD drive and clicking start --> Run and entering:
expand X:\i386\autoexec.nt_ c:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt

Replace X:\ with your CD ROM drive letter.

From a google search
