ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2005 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.

TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2005 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prophet of Mike Zagurski 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2005 Here's an easy method to solve that error: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_m.htm#16bit 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 http://mvps.org/nibblesnbits/AUTOEXEC.NT -- Cheers, Windows XP MVP Shell / User Jimmy S. http://mvp.support.microsoft.com Game FAQs: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=FH;[LN];gms Visit my Zone.com / Gaming Helpsite: http://nibblesnbits.tk or Call / Contact MS Support at: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=sz;en-us;top My advice is donated "AS IS" without warranty; nor do I confer any rights. _________________________________________________________ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
