    XP + 16 bit program?

    Ok, this is freaky. I have a 16 bit program that we use every day. Never had a problem with it. It is even used over the network (albeit one user at a time). Now one of the machines is giving me an error of:

    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications.

    Anyone have any clues as to what this is and what caused it? There were some problems with the machine just before it, not all of which have been fixed (spyware, etc), but the program I'm trying to use and the OS (AFAIK) haven't been changed.

    Thanks!

    Thanks Deryk! That fixed the problem! I'm keeping this piece of paper in case it happens again.
