captainmuldoon Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 Hi, um... I just bought this game, under a friend's recommendation and i love the look of it but i can't play it. i tried to install it on my newest computer (windows XP home) but when i click install it says "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" and when i try to install it on my older PC (windows 98) it installs fine, but when i play it the only button which responds is pause. I've tried the whole "take out keyboard and remove keyboard from system devices" instruction from the troubleshooting and it didn't work. any help on either problem? thanks
Tall Guy Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 make sure you have an older version of direct x on your win98 machine. v6.x might be a good idea. bear in mind that you cant downgrade your winxp machine i dont think...
Deli Man Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 is there any way to get the game to work on xp if you get the error the original poster mentioned?
zbucket Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 Have you tried copying all the files from cd to hard drive then installing the game? The only reason I ask is I am running gf perfectly now on xp with directx 9.0 after having major problems running it from disk. Otherwise try downloading this patch http://support.packardbell.com/uk/mypc/index.php?dwn=6945970000;dosapps_sp2_patch.exe I had a similar error message displayed on another application a while back and this fixed the problem, it might work.
