win16 system error dosx.exe not present?

[Lorin Engler]

I keep getting this error message and I can not figure
out how or why? Can anyone help clear up this error?
"The win16 system was unable to enter protected mode,
Dosx.exe must be in your Autoexec.nt and present in your
path"
So now I can not install anything into my WindowsXP
Professional machine! Can some one help?

Thanks
