I have windows xp home and when I want to install a game (ZEUS etc) it gives
me an error report saying that sys32 autoexec.nt file not compatible with DOS
or windows and the game cannt be insatalled. I tried several games but all
the same message.
 
You can try compatability mode but it rarely works. Winxp is ntfs and not Dos based and will not run most Dos games. In short, add a hard drive, format it in fat\32, install fedora or some linux (free os) or win 9x version, win98 etc.. then you can probably play those games. Or, here's the real clincher, buy newer games. There are other options but it's best to leave the system alone and do the last suggestion.
 
thanx Rich

It helped and I am now a happy gamer - lol. Oh yes, the water does spin the
other way here! You should try and visit

I just checked the Dosbox out, pretty good. Works good too. I wasn't looking for this type of thing but my kids are happy to play their old games. So, thanks Rich for that info also.
