    Hi

    Error message when you install or start an MS-DOS or 16-bit
    Windows-based program
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;324767

    You can put back the standard version of autoexec.nt/config.nt by
    copying a backup copy held in %windir%\repair\ to %windir%\system32\
    (%windir% is typically C:\Windows) instead of using the procedure in
    the KB article above.

    Could be caused a trojan or something similar, e.g.
    TrojanDownloader.Win32.Dia.a, more about this here:
    http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=5f6f139.0409140618.749324fe%40posting.google.com

    Also, AVAST (antivirus software) can be the cause if you
    have WinXP SP2 installed:
