Windows XP... yet again...

[Drucifer]

Hello all.

 

Finally found my Rebellion disk after I've upgraded to Service Pack 2, however, when I attempt an install, even with compatibility mode set for 95, 98, and 2000, it still gives me the following error"

 

16 bit Windows Subsystem

C:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Micosoft Windows applications. Chose 'Close' to terminate the application.

 

Gives me two buttons, "Close" and "Ignore"

 

Upon chosing ignore, absolutely nothing happens and I'm stuck sitting here waiting for an install screen.

 

Upon chosing close.. well, it closes.

 

Has anyone else come across this error? And if so, have the solved it in any way? I miss playing this game, as old as it is.

I once came upon a problem like this.

What happened was that Only when I was switching of the pc would it start up. And interrupt because of shutting down.

I managed to solve the problem by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del.

Then I went into Processus (the second tag) and ended

the msbb one.

The installation started.

Hope that helps.

[Drucifer]

Unfortunately it did not help. I started the install, got the error, switched over to the Processes and could find no "msbb."

 

Thank you for the try, though. I greatly appreciate it.

The problem could be in SP2. While I have yet to experience any of the abundant problems in the Service pack, they are there. You may be best to check with Microsoft's website and see if they have any solutions for your problem. Probably the only way you'll get around it is to un-install SP2, which creates problems of its own.

[Mad78]

Keep on searching. It may, like for me, be something which is right in the middle of your screen but you haven't yetr thought of.

[Drucifer]

Feel like a fool, but I found the reason I was getting that error. I finally got the game to work, on both SPs, and it was just that the afformentioned file wasn't in the direction, it had been moved to a repair folder somehow (Not my doing, I don't fudge around in the Win directory, my system is unstable enough!)

 

Thanks for the support, though, folks! You guys are an awesome community and I most certainly will try to keep in touch with you all!

I believe that's a change of SP2. In other words, don't upgrade to XP SP2

[Darth_Officer]

there's nothing wrong with sp2.

 

it's his computer that's messed up

I'm using a Windows XP and it works fine for me (of course I'm using special conditions.)

I'm not so sure you're right SS_Officer. Note the date of last review of this M$ tech article - not to say the XP SP2 is the direct cause of this, but I'd not rule it out.
