I was trying to install AVG on a Dell 4500S today and got a 16 Bit 
Subsystem error. I was also unable to turn on XP's firewall. I 
subsequently discovered Autoexec.NT was missing.
This is a reasonably well maintained machine with a timid user who only 
uses it for email. Her 20-something daughter occasionally uses it for 
email also.
I was able to extract the file and solve the problem, but I'm wondering 
how this important file could have gone missing. The logs show no signs 
of viruses or Spyware.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
