Hello Eric,

Insert your Windows CD and give this a shot:

1. On the Start Menu, click Run, and then type the following: "cmd"
(without the quotation marks)

2. Click OK.

3. Type the CD-ROM drive letter with a colon, for example D:, and then
press ENTER.

4. Type the following and then press ENTER: "cd i386" (without the
quotation marks)

5. In Windows Explorer, rename the Autoexec.nt file to Autoexec.old.

6. Return to the Run dialog box, and then type the following and press
ENTER: "expand D:\i386\Autoexec.nt_ C:\Winnt\system32\Autoexec.nt"
(without the quotation marks) Note: Make sure the CD-ROM drive letter
and the hard disk drive letter are correct for your system.

7. Restart the computer, and then try again to run the program.

** You may have to repeat these steps for command.com and config.nt

Hope this helps
