I Have A PC Game Problem

Recommended Posts

OK, recently I found my old copy of "Monkey Island Madness", and I went to try to play it in my computer.

 

However, when I tried, I got the following message

 

TITLE: 16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem

 

D:\Monkey1\Monkey.exe

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

 

Anyone know how I can solve this problem?

 

Thanks in advance.

It's funny you should say this, I had the EXACT same problem on my sisters pc. Same file, same message. I just copied over the autoexec.nt file from her backup CD and it worked just fine.

 

I think at some point, it might get edited/altered on your pc, so find your recovery CD and just copy the one file over. It worked for me, maybe your problem's more advanced.

 

To be extra careful, backup your current autoexec.nt file first.

Here's an easy method to solve that error:

If that doesn't correct the issue, try this manual method:

 

1. Browse to C:\WINDOWS\repair

Right-Click and Copy the file named: autoexec.nt *

 

2. Browse to C:\WINDOWS\System32

Right-Click in that window to Paste the file

(Answer yes if prompted to replace existing file)

 

 

* Note: If the file autoexec.nt doesn't exist on your system

right click the link below and select the "Save Target As.."

option to save the file in C:\WINDOWS\System32
