Re: Running DOS programs in Win XP

I'm not sure where that file comes from nor why it's not on MCE. I ended up
finding it on my XP Pro box and just copying it over. Everything worked fine
after that...

Hello,

I am in need of assistance. I have an older DOS program that runs at work
(network PC) -- but when I try to run it at home on my XP Media Center
the
ensuing error reads "c:\windows\systems32\autoexec.nt. The system file is
not
suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft applications." I also had this
problem with an older game that said it was compatible with XP. Changing
the
compatability of the .exe to Win 95, 98, NT or 2000 doesn't help either.
Does anyone have any suggestions or see what I may be missing?

Thanks,
Tom
