Heroes 2 on Windows XP
For ages I thought that Heroes 2 was unplayable using WindowsXP - everytime I tried to install it i got this error
Quote: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications, Choose 'Close' to terminate the application
So for years I decided that my days of Heroes 2 were over until I found this article at Tech Support Guy forums - and now I can play Heroes 2 again! (along with many old games)
I'll paste the article here just in case there is future problems with the link
Quote: There has been a few issues with an error regarding AUTOEXEC.NT. There is a few simple fixes for this error.
1) Navigate to the REPAIR folder in C:\WINNT or C:\WINDOWS. Copy the AUTOEXEC.NT file to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 folder.
2) With the Windows XP CD in the drive, go to Command Prompt and type:
expand (cdrom drive)\i386\autoexec.nt_ c:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt
(cdrom drive) is the letter drive you have your CD-ROM assigned to. Usually its D:. If it asks you to replace it, click yes.
I hope this helps some of you relive some of the fun that was Heroes2
