[Reigh hoff]

iam running Microsoft window home edition and iam trying to install a game i have called " independence war" made by ocean in 1998, the game would run on my older windown 98 computer. when i try to install i get a error pop up saying
" C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/AUTOEXEC.NT.  
This system file is not suitable for running ms-dos, and windows aplications."

i can click on two buttons " Ignore,cancel" but no matter wich one i click on it just stope the instalation.

Does anyone have any idea on how i can fix this thank you in advance.

You just missed the last bit of the OS name, so I'm not entirely sure if you are running Windows NT or (more likely) Windows XP Home.

It doesn't matter either way though. If you are running the latter, try running the game in Compatibility Mode to mimic Windows 9x. If it's the former then I'm afraid you're going to have to go back to 98 (2000 is actually a version of NT, designed mainly for businesses and doesn't run games - well, most of the time)
