16 Bit MS-Dos Sub System Error

[burni]

Hi All

I've recently restored my computer that runs XP Home edition. I have also installed Norton Security 2005.

However, I'm getting an error message which also includes:

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[/B]

Can somebody please advise me as to how to correct the problem.

Thank you (in anticipation)

The problem mainly occurs when first logging into the system but it has appeared on other occassions.
