Destination? What?
« on: December 26, 2005, 08:46:37 PM »
Im new to this whole forum thing so I guess I just ask a question.  

Question: I have been trying to put my old SIMS game onto my new computer and I keep getting the message about MS-DOS, so I came to this site earlier and got the info about the command prompt from sidewinder, it was going well until I hit enter and the computer then said "no distination" what does that mean? Do I need to put the drive on it or what? CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!    :'( :( ???

Thanks Shortnsassy

It would help to know the exact message. You shouldn't need to do anything with command prompt to load that game. How did you come to that conclusion?

Some details would be helpful.

    Can you give us a recap on what the problem is and what you were told to do about it?

     This is the exact message my computer pops up:

    c:\windows\system32\autoexec.NT. Ths system file is not suitable for runnin MS-DOS and Microsoft applications. Choose 'close' to terminate the application. So what do you think I should do? Is this fixable?or am i fighting a battle I just wont win?

      Too easy if we only knew what your operating system was ???

      For Windows2000
      Open a command prompt, type the following & hit enter.

      copy c:\winnt\repair\autoexec.nt c:\winnt\system32

      For XP
      Open a command prompt, type the following & hit enter.

      copy c:\windows\repair\autoexec.nt c:\windows\system32
