I have recently relapsed into the Baldurs Gate addiction. However, When I try to initiate the installation process, I get an error saying:

16 bit Windows System
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications.


So my question is what am I to do, Because this has never happened before?

what is your windows platform?

I'll echo that question. I've just recently installed it on XP, and I don't think I've had any problems. I may have set the executable to Win98 compatibility mode or something like that...

I run XP

Hello ????? :(

<span style="color: lightblue">Try running the setup file directly from the CD, rather than via the baldur.exe (= autorun) frontend.

Still no luck :(

Stripped of comments and my modifications, here what should be in autoexec.nt

</font><blockquote>code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;">lh %SystemRoot%\system32\mscdexnt.exe
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\redir
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 P330 T3</pre>[/QUOTE]Comments are any lines with REM in them. Anyway, if you create an autoexec.nt in the right location with those lines, it should work.

I'm gonna need more help than that, because I have no clue what your talking about.

Go to c:\windows\system32.

There, you will find the file autoexec.nt. Open it in notepad, and replace the contents with the ones in my above post.
