I can't play or run any games on my computer! Help!

[S.]

When I try to install a game or run a game on my computer, one of two
meesages comes up:


WOWEXEC caused a general protection fault in module MMSYSTEM.DLL at
000A:0032


and


Windows cannot find 'F:/setup.ins'


I've tried to fix the WOWEXEC problem by running the Regedit.exe and
changing it to "yes"
and I've tried a search on my hard drive for MMSYSTEM.DLL and there was

more than one, so I renamed one, MMSYSTEM.OLD, and restarted my
computer. then did another search and made sure it didnt change it
back, but it did.


Nothing worked. Someone please help.

Don't know about F:/setup.ins, but for basic DOS program troubleshooting in
