“C:SYSTEM32AUTOEXEC.NT. The System file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose ‘Close’ to terminate the application.”

I’ve gotten it a few times lately. Today I was trying to install some older software (1996) and got this message when clicking on setup.exe.

Ok I know that a specific file (”System” in C:WINDOWSsystem32config) is corrupt how can I use recovery module to replace that file from my windows XP CD?
Thanks, I can get to recovery console but how do I actually replace the file with the un-corrupt version of the file from the cd?

The error reflects the problem as a Hardware or Software Driver in Windows XP. Already updated all Windows updates. Upgraded all drivers that I could find. Please advise on correcting this error.

I want to disable Windows XP from running it’s error/disk check after an improper shudown.

I have a computer that has Windows XP Media Edition 2002 service pack 3. It is receiving a few the error messages that some files are either corrupt or missing. I do not have the XP Media CD. I have the 25 digit key for it though. Can I repair it with XP Professional or Home Edition disk that i have? If I can what are the step by step directions?

I put a DVD in and it opens up with Media Center (I have Windows XP Media Center Edition.) If the DVD is removed while Media Center is still running, I get an error “Windows - Wrong Volume” that gives me three choices: Cancel, Try Again, or Continue. Clicking on any of the three just makes the error pop right back up. I can’t end the task. I tried killing the process tree and it tells me it’s a critical system task and can’t be terminated. Is there ANY way to get rid of this error without (a) putting the original disc back in, or (b) rebooting? It’s crazy that you can’t just cancel to get rid of this error!
