16 Bit Msdos

[SirDorksAlot]

trying to run old dos game in windows xp pro get c:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt. the system file is not suitable for running ms-dos and microsoft windows applications choose close to terminate the application how do i get it to run please help

[hardnrg]

have you tried running it from the command line?

 

start -> run -> type cmd and press enter

 

change to drive = [drive letter]:

e.g. E:

 

change to directory/folder = cd "\blah de blah\you can have spaces with quotes"

e.g. cd "\my old dos games\Dune II"

 

and that should take you to E:\my old dos games\Dune II

 

OR, you could try booting from a dos bootdisk, but then you get to relive the fun of loading soundcard drivers into "high" memory and all that lol
