Bizatch Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 to make Grim Fandango installation not crash on windows xp, you just need to make a blank text document and copy @echo off lh %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\mscdexnt.exe lh %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\redir lh %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\dosx SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 P330 T3 and save it as autoexec.nt in c:\windows\system32\ PS Thanks com160 for this information! really helped me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shotgun1 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 I've been having random crashes with my a64/xp setup, so I wanted to look into this. Anyway, I looked at my autoexec.nt and all of those things are already there by default. Lots of REMs to explain stuff but the same exact loadhighs/set sound blaster stuff.

audio Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Unfortunately, no amount of fiddling with the autoexec file has done any good for me, though by all account it should have. Bye bye, Grim Fandango. I'm glad I got to play you at least once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveBB Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Your autoexec file should be in a backup folder on your pc somewhere, just search for it and COPY it to the system32 folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audio Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Thanks. I've done all that, and followed through with every fix posted here (regarding that file) and elsewhere, including rewriting it. Nada. The reason for my posting is that this is NOT the cure-all, and that fact should be known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
