Hello everybody. I just received this game and I have put it in my computer. I click on the "LAUNCH" button in under G:\Septerra (I use the explore menu) and I click install and I get this error message:

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.

Then it gives me the options to close or ignore. It doesnt matter what I choose because it doesnt do anything either way but close the application. I am using Windows XP and it runs just fine on my friend's computer. I am sure all the files are there and everything. Oh, and it gives me this error message whenever I run an MS Office program such as MS Word, Excell, Powerpoint, Acrobat Reader, ect.

Does anybody else have this problem and know how to fix it? It's driving me mad.

Maybe you should reinstall your WinXP or at least run a scan disk

step 1: update your pc.

step 3: try installing the game.

step 4: try installing the game under the sell extension.

step 5: ecplore your cd-rom and find hte install app. run it.

step 6: defrag and redo steps 1-5

step 7: reinstall windows xp

step 8: after install retry install of game.

step 9: defrag and repeat step 1-5 again

step 10: if all else fails, read the manuals.

step 11: get your machine checked by an Technology profressional.

step 12: if that fails, buy a new HD, reinstall windows onto the hd in your pc, and redo everything on your pc, as you had a hard drive FAILURE, in which the hard drive has died to to death of sectors, do not try to fix it. it has died. repeat all steps. it should work. if not, repeat step 11.

hey guys I'm just a guest to this forum but I'm trying to find the solution to the problem this guy posted up above. I get the same exact error message. On some message boards I've seen some talk about changing the registry, anybody know anything about that?

I only have this error message with septerra core, and as far as I know my system is updated. I really don't want to have to re-install windows or anything. Anybody know the solution to this error?
