Ok can't install any game into my computer.

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.games (More info?)

I keep getting this error "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file
is not suitable for running MS-Dos and Micfrosoft Windows applications.
Choose close to termanate the applacation.

Now I choose close and nothing happens. I don't know what to do. I can't
play any games on my computer but I want to. I don't know what to do or where
to even start.

Hi David,

You can solve that problem by replacing the file:

1. Browse to C:\WINDOWS\repair
Right-Click and Copy the file named: autoexec.nt *

2. Browse to C:\WINDOWS\System32
Right-Click in that window to Paste the file
(Answer yes if prompted to replace existing file)


* Note: If the file autoexec.nt doesn't exist on your system
right click the link below and select the "Save Target As.."
option to save the file in C:\WINDOWS\System32
