DOS Problem in WindowsXP

[adorablesrini]

I use WindowsXP(with no Service packs installed).Recently i am not able to run any DOS based program.An error shows up saying,"C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT.The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications." Please help me with this problem as i have to run important programs such the C compiler.
