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.

what are you trying to install

11/5/2005 6:17:15 PM

Sounds like your software might be too old.

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.

yeah its old games.

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.

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.
