Sandra_Lee Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 >:(I'm really bad with the technical side of computers.I found my old Dune 2000 game and it's only compatible for W95 and W98!When trying to install it a message comes up...C:WINDOWSSYSTEM32AUTOEXE.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. I read something about changing the system compatibilities but I have no idea how to do this!Is there any way to get around this?If so could someone please explain it step by step?I have dial-up so I'm hoping there's an easy way to fix this!=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Right click on the Dune2k exe file, then pick the compatibility tab and set it back to 95. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Or downgrade your pc to windows 95 :Pjk..I think compatibility mode of 98 is better Gryphon.. :PSo go to the installation directory, after you have installed the game..Then find the Dune.exe (or what ever the executable is called).right click it, then choos propertiesthen choose the Compatibility tabRun this program in the following compatibility mode (or something like it..)Check that box, and choose windows 98.Click apply and close the properties screen..Run the executable.have fun..

Sandra_Lee Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 Thanks! I'll give it a go, and if I don't reply, I've probably killed my computer! =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra_Lee Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 There's no Dune.exe file, there's only....AUTORUN.EXESETUP.EXEI tried changing the compatibility on those to Windows 98 but it still didn't work.The strange thing is it works in my sisters computer perfectly fine, and she's also running Windows XP. ??? ??? ??? ???

Phoenix Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 autorun and setup.exe on your cd???I think you first should install it..And then try that what gryphon and I told you to ;)so just install it,then go to the installation directoryWhich you filled in at installation, or the default, which should also be displayed on install...then find the executable which starts dune and do again that compatibility thingy ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
