Autoexec

I get that error message whenever I try and remove some programs using the "Ad or Remove Programs" program.

What is it and why wont it let me uninstall the programs?

Sorry if i'm asking too many questions i've just had alot of things I wanted to ask someone but no one knew and now you guys know so I figured i'd find out :-D!!!

Thanks in advanced.

Solutions

1. Go to C:\WINDOWS\repair and copy the Autoexec.nt file from the Repair folder to the System32 folder C:\WINDOWS\system32

If that doesnt work try the following...

2. Insert the Windows XP CD into the CD drive and click 'Start' > 'Run' and enter:

expand X:\i386\autoexec.nt_ c:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt

(Replace X:\ with your CD ROM drive letter)

3. Microsoft provided a solution too but its a bit rubbish. Try the above first

I dont have a repair folder in windows and I dont have a Windows XP CD Windows XP came installed on the computer when we got it.

Matt's pretty much covered it all, if you don't have the CD or a repair folder in windows then you should get a friend with a Windows XP CD. Or take it to a local PC shop.

Also make sure your repair folder isn't hidden.

Whoops nevermind, I didn't click Windows after I got into C drive thats why I didnt see the repair folder.

Everything works now.

THANKS GUYS!!
