Re: Pharoah/QOTN/Master of Olympus

Tip 1: to fix autoexec.nt copy the file from C:\Windows\repair to C:\Windows\system32, click ok when asked if you want to replace it.

Tip 2: if you want to keep track of your games, the best way is to create a custom folder in your root (c:\games for instance) and install your games there. Example c:\games\queen of the nile. Nowadays 99% percent of games give you the advanced option to choose where to install. It is surely better than browsing your c:\program files folder. Especially if the install program puts it first into a sub folder like Sierra or Activision do

Hi, meesage is c:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt. The system file is not suitable for runnig MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Chose close or ignore. Downloaded a new autoexec.nt as advised in an older message and this allowed me to load Pharoah and worked. Then managed to load Queen of the Nile although I can't find this now in C drive. Master of Olympus loaded and starts the game but after couple of minutes the computer restarts and starts with scandisk

Any help?

|| Hi Maria,

|| Your system is most likely restarting as a result of a STOP error.
||
|| To stop this behavior go to Control Panel / System / Advanced /

||
|| To analyze the error, try the steps in: http://aumha.org/win5/kbestop.htm
