Checkers

Wanda R · 02-05-2006, 11:47 AM

I had windows m.e. on my computer, now I have XP. I am having problems playing (checkers) . It use to work fine. Now, when I try to open it, a box comes up that says:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT
The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications.

Can anyone tell me what is wrong & how to fix it??, as I also have other games that have the same problem. THANKS!!

Right click on the game and select properties. On the Compatability tab check the box Run this program in compatability for then select Windows 98/Windows ME from the drop down box click apply and ok.

Alternatively if that doesn't work, try this:

Click Start, click Run, type c:\windows\repair, and then click OK.
Right-click autoexec.nt, and then click Copy.
Click Start, click Run, type c:\windows\system32, and then click OK.
Right-click anywhere in that folder, and then click Paste.
Right-click the Autoexect.nt file that you just copied, and then click Properties.
Click to select Read-Only, and then click OK.

You may also need to copy across 'config.nt' in the same style.
