Hello all! My problem is when I try and install some "older" software
on my machine,I get the following error message
"C:WindowsSystem32Autoexec.NT.The system file is not suitable for
running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications.Chose ’close’ to
terminate the application".I am running Win XP Pro SP-1,fully
updated!The game’s that give me this error are Half-Life
original,and Delta Force Black Hawk Down.The drives are a Plextor 716a
DVD drive and I also tried a Lite-On 52x cd-rom!Any help would be
great.If you need any more info,will be glad to reply!!

Thanks in advance,

Voodoo
