The other day I was trying to install a game I had played on past computers called smallball. After it downloaded I clicked the setup file and it showed this error message:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to termnate the application.

I just figured that it was a problem with the file so I gave up trying to install it. Later that day I tried installing a different program that I found online and saw the same error message come up.

Please Help.
