system32\config.nt

[paul]

I get an error message that reads c:\windows\system32
\config.nt. The system file is not suitable for runnibg
MS-DOS and Mircosoft Windows applications. This happens
every time I try to play one of the games that came with
the computer like Tuts Tomb or Jezzball.

Hi Paul,

Tuts Tomb and Jezzball are a couple of great old DOS games.

When a game is a DOS game, it could work using compatibility mode:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=292533 or by using the Multiboot
bootdisk from: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~lpcd/downloads.html
and always check at fileplanet.com to see if there's a patch available.

With DOSBOX you can emulate a DOS computer on your XP desktop:

If you prefer to explore other advanced methods, here are two excellent
tutorials I've found on the subject: http://www.dosgames.com/xphints.php
and: http://home.earthlink.net/~angeldancer27/XpGameList.htm
