    Most likely you got infected by some virus/malware and your antivirus/adware scanner kindly deleted the autoexec.nt file. Extract the original file from your XP CD to the location shown.

    if you haven't sorted this out yet you should search for autoexec.NT any if it isn't in windows\system32 put it in it and it will work it did for me so should for you
