Hi all,

I can't install Max Payne on my computer.The autorun display the following
message:C:\ Windows\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for
running MS-DOS and Microsoft applications.Choose close to terminate
application.
My computer is a laptop running XPsp2.I've tried to use comptability wizard
but it's not working.
When I click the autorun or install.exe i got the same message.Don't know
what to do next

anyone any idea?

thanx

Cedric

Hi Cedric,

You can solve that problem by replacing the file:

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
