Indeed, but IMO, this is the exact problem. I think TheFrank installed a 16-bit driver (AKA DOS driver) instead of the 32-bit Windows driver.
TheFrank, make absolutely sure you install the correct driver. You'll often find different drivers with the installation disc/cdrom, installing them all isn't needed and will even result in errors. Make sure you install the 32-bit driver, and if possible and included, even install the WinXP/NT driver instead.
But you will get this error when you TRY to run the installer. Here Cook do this test. Download any version of AVG. Rename your autoexec.nt file to autoexec.nt_ or something and try to run the intaller. That message is the same thing TheFrank gets.
