We have received reports of the following error from some of our visitors:

ERROR MESSAGE: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications.

The following error message is appearing for some users when trying to install demos on systems running the Windows XP Operating System:

"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."

The reason that this error is occurring is due to the AUTOEXEC.NT file not existing in the System 32 folder. It appears that many preventative software programs such Pop-Up blockers, spyware, adaware programs are recognizing this file as being associated with viruses and removing the file.

To fix this error, right click on the attachment AUTOEXEC.NT located below and save it into the System32 folder. This can be completed by saving the file into C:\WINDOWS\system32 if you are running Windows XP.

If you save the file to the C:\Windows\System32 directory and you are asked if you wish to replace the existing file, please DO NOT replace the existing file.

Then, please proceed installing the demo again. You should now be able to open the program without seeing this error.
