trying to install something and auto run comes on, i choose "install" and i get the following:
C:\Windows\System32\autoexec.nt. The system file is not suitable for running MS-dos or windows applications. Choose 'close' to terminate this application.

Sounds like your software might be too old. 11/5/2005 6:18:02 PM |

yeah, what program is it? you can follow the instructions from that link incognegro gave you, which sounds like a pain in the ass (for someone not used to doing crap at the command prompt)... but you could also probably find a newer software that would meet your needs and not be a bitch to use.

when im doing this, where it says %SYSTEMROOT% am I supposed to type that or is this something I should fill with my specific computer info? 11/5/2005 6:27:09 PM |

am i supposed to put WINDOWS instead, b/c later in the info it tells me to put these new files in the %SYSTEMROOT%\System32 folder, which doesn't seem to exist. 11/5/2005 6:35:09 PM |

I think so, just put windows where it says system root. also, you could try this program:

it's a dos emulator, version of it works for xp. 11/6/2005 2:14:15 PM |
