Help Computer Problem!!!!

[Spiritsongs]

   Hi :

 Since this started after installing XP SP3, I recommend you ask the certified,
 Volunteer "Microsoft Most Valuable Professional(s)" on the Support Forums at
 http://aumha.net where there is a "XP SP3:Repair Windows Installer Errors"
 Sticky .

 Would also recommend you look through the Aumha "Topics" at
 http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=83 .

Thanks how big is this problem?

[Eminem]

at first i got a message like this C:\WINDOWS\system32\command.com
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. But then i did this because on another forum said to do it:

Click Start, Run, type cmd and press enter to open the MS-DOS window.
In the MS-DOS Window, type the below commands.

cd\windows\repair
copy autoexec.nt c:\windows\system32
copy config.nt c:\windows\system32

Once the above two files have been copied, type "exit" to exit the MS-DOS window.



I messed up the first time i think because i didn't type exit which he said too. Now command prompt freezes. It said something about overwriting the files.

If i take it to be repaired on Monday how long do you think it would take a professional computer repair person to fix?

3-5 hours I can put and configure a system back (if I have backups).

is this a problem that i can't fix on my own and is it serious to get it fixed right away?

nothing else is wrong and system restore works in safe mode so i'm just going to leave it for now.
