|i have tried to install several games(none of them new but they have worked

Please provide the titles of the games, your OS version and the exact error
message if this doesn't resolve the issue, thanks!
You can solve that problem by replacing the file:
Try this easy solution from Kelly T. first:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_m.htm#16bit
Otherwise...
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
