Copy these files:
 
C:\windows\repair\autoexec.nt
c:\windows\repair\config.nt
 
to
 
C:\windows\system32
 
Also scan your system for viruses and spyware since this problem may be caused by them.

went thru that with another guy here in the last 2 days & the last line in it had ALWIL.SYS in it for SOME reason (That's an AVAST antivirus driver looks like because ALWIL? IS Avast stuff... ) apk


According to this Avast forum thread: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?&topic=6958.15, it is bug in Avast installer program and they are aware of it.
They also have posted work around.

Oh, the irony.
 
Imagine telling people to scan their system for adware/spyware because of autoexec.nt/config.nt problems. So they download the adware/spyware program and the adware/spyware program causes the problem! heh.
 
I've seen this problem on systems without adware/spyware programs so it seems to be caused by something else too, at least we have one of the programs pinpointed....finally.
